Organized Evil :: By Daymond Duck

Published on: by RR10 Category:Daymond Duck, General Articles

On May 13, 2026, the Prophecy Newswatch (PNW) staff posted an article about the findings of the independent investigation of the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Jews at the Nova Music Festival in Israel.

An Islamic terrorist group called Hamas killed more than 370 Israelis, wounded hundreds of people, and seized 44 hostages (11 who were tortured and killed in captivity).

The PNW staff reported that:

  • For two years, investigators reviewed more than 10,000 photos and video segments, analyzed over 1,800 hours of footage, and conducted more than 430 interviews with survivors, hostages, forensic experts, first responders, and witnesses.
  • Their conclusion is devastatingly clear: the sexual violence committed on October 7 was systematic, widespread, intentional, and integrated into Hamas’s strategy of terror.
  • This was not chaos.
  • It was not random brutality.
  • It was organized evil.
  • Burned homes. Bullet-riddled cars. Blood-soaked shelters. Families wiped out in a single morning.
  • Women were found naked, bound, mutilated, and executed after being raped.
  • Bodies showed evidence of targeted gunshots to breasts, faces, and genitalia.
  • Victims were burned alive.
  • Sharp objects, nails, grenades, and tools were reportedly embedded into bodies.
  • Witnesses described gang rapes followed by execution.
  • Some victims were assaulted after death.
  • What happened on October 7 was barbarism.
  • Medieval, sadistic, genocidal barbarism.
  • When human beings delight in humiliation, torture, and desecration — when laughter accompanies rape and execution — we are witnessing something beyond political conflict.
  • We are staring into the abyss of what humanity becomes when hatred fully consumes the soul.
  • And now that the truth has been documented in horrifying detail, the world faces a choice: confront it honestly, or continue pretending evil is negotiable when it aligns with fashionable politics.

Here is a link to the entire PNW staff article.

(My opinion: On Oct. 7, 2023, Islam revealed its true nature – organized evil – and the willful ignorance of world leaders who turn a blind eye and try to whitewash it. To quote the PNW staff, “Sanitizing atrocities does not honor victims. It protects perpetrators.” This is leading to God’s judgment, i.e., the Tribulation Period.)

Here are some recent current events that seem to indicate that the Tribulation Period is near:

One, on May 13, 2026, Israel’s ambassador to the U.N. in Geneva said:

  • The hatred which spurred the Holocaust is not gone, but is lurking underneath the surface, including in ways where it is trivialized or distorted to apply to today’s conflicts.
  • These actions, hiding under the guise of pretend righteousness, just repeat the same old tropes that have always existed.
  • We have seen it all before.

(My comment: The Holocaust and the Oct. 7, 2023 events are documented organized evil. Underlying motivations include a satanic attempt to destroy Israel, establish a satanic world government, stop the fulfillment of Bible prophecy, prevent the binding of Satan, prevent the Millennial reign of Jesus, etc.)

(More: On May 18, 2026, Israel’s Foreign Min. warned the EU that some of the EU nations that are pushing for sanctions on Israel are harming Israel-EU relations.)

Two, concerning the return of the Jews, the expansion of Israel’s borders, and Israel’s prosperity at the end of the age: on May 14, 2026, Israel’s Finance Min. Bezalel Smotrich said:

  • In the last three years, we have approved 60,000 housing units in Judea and Samaria.
  • The people of Israel are returning home, and this time forever!
  • The time has come to finally erase the lines that separate Areas A, B, and C.
  • I placed a detailed plan on the cabinet table this week, and I call on the prime minister to adopt it.
  • All of the land of Israel is ours.
  • In the economy, we are seeing the fulfillment of prophecies.
  • From a state of refugees with austerity and shortages, to an economic power.
  • While fighting on seven fronts, the stock exchange breaks records, and foreign investments flow into the country.

Three, concerning Rededicate 250: on May 17, 2026, several thousand people gathered at the Washington Mall for a full day (10:30 am to 6 pm) of Scripture reading, worship, testimony, and prayer.

It was reported that (among other things):

  • There was the sound of thousands of voices singing “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty.”
  • The message was unmistakable: America’s rights come from God, not government, and the nation’s next 250 years depend on her willingness to remember that.
  • It was not a political rally. It was a nation on its knees.
  • S. Sec. of War called on patriots from every state to come together on the National Mall “under one flag and one God.”
  • In a video message, Pres. Trump read these words from II Chron. 7:14: “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
  • Vice Pres. J.D. Vance quoted John Adams, who wrote, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

Four, concerning the U.S.-Iran war: here is a small part of what Tania Koenig wrote on May 18, 2026:

  • The Middle East is again in one of those dangerous pauses that can easily be mistaken for de-escalation. The guns may not be firing at full volume, but the region is not calm. Iran is probing, Israel is watching, Washington is applying pressure, China is calculating, the Gulf is exposed, and the Strait of Hormuz — the narrow artery through which so much of the world’s energy moves — has become more than a shipping lane. It has become a bargaining chip.
  • A renewed strike on Iran could send oil higher, shake markets, threaten U.S. bases, expose Gulf allies, disrupt aviation, and give China and others an opportunity to blame Washington for global instability. Iran does not need to defeat America militarily. It only needs to raise the cost of action high enough that Washington begins looking for a compromise.
  • The world may want to believe this is a pause on the way to settlement. It may be. Trump still prefers a deal if the deal looks like victory. China still wants the Strait open. Iran may still want survival more than confrontation. But if Iran is using this pause to rebuild rather than retreat, Israel will see the pause differently.
  • And if Israel concludes that time now favors Iran, the next round may come before the markets fully price it, before the diplomats admit it, and before the world understands that the war never really ended.
  • It only changed form.

(My comment: If we are at the very end of the Church Age – and I believe we are – based on my understanding of the Scriptures, we can expect wars and rumors of wars to continue; unending efforts to destroy Israel; God to destroy Iran, Russia, Turkey, and several of their Islamic allies on the mountains of Israel; the global economy to continue to worsen; global unrest to continue to worsen; efforts to establish a world government to increase; famine to worsen; and more.)

(Update: On May 17, 2026, Pres. Trump said the clock is ticking for Iran and the U.S. to reach an agreement to end the war.)

(Update: On Mar. 18, 2026, Pres. Trump delayed his plans to attack Iran again.)

(FYI: Hal Turner said, “A person can be forgiven for feeling like they got Whiplash as this fiasco unfolded. For many observers, the worst part is that this is about the tenth time this type of scenario has occurred. We’re going to attack. Uhhhhh, no, we’re not.  Same thing, over-and-over-and-over, for weeks. The pattern got so familiar, happening on Tuesdays, that critics began referring to that day as TACO Tuesday – with TACO standing for Trump Always Chickens Out.”)

(My comment: Pres. Trump views himself as a great negotiator, but his dealings with Iran haven’t backed it up.)

Five, concerning Jerusalem: on May 17, 2026, Israel’s Prime Min. Netanyahu said:

  • There are very few peoples whose capital today is the same as it was 3,000 years ago, but certainly there is no other case in which a people lost its capital, lost its sovereignty, lost its land, and returned to reestablish its sovereignty and its capital in the original place.

(My comment: This is exactly what the Bible said would happen, and Netanyahu said it at a meeting where he announced the financing of several major Israeli projects to strengthen Jerusalem.)

Here are some war reports as they came in from the U.S. and Israel:

The U.S. calls its attacks Operation Epic Fury.

Israel calls its attacks Operation Roaring Lion.

Thurs. Day 76 (May 14, 2026) (Day 23 of Trump’s latest ceasefire extension)

  • Trump said China agreed that Iran can never have nuclear weapons.
  • China warned of clashesbetween the US and China if the US supports Taiwan’s independence. While the US does not officially recognize Taiwan as a sovereign state, it maintains strong economic ties with the self-governing island.
  • Trump said he is not going to be much more patient with Iran. He said they can make a deal, or they get annihilated. He added that any sane person would make a deal, but they might be crazy.
  • Cuba has run out of diesel and fuel oil, and they have “no reserves.” There are rolling blackouts, and many people are rioting.

Fri. Day 77 (May 15, 2026) (Day 24 of Trump’s latest ceasefire extension)

  • Israel said it will agree to withdraw from Lebanese territory in exchange for Hezbollah’s disarmament.
  • Shell Oil and other corporations notified Walmart, Sams and Cosco that their shelves are going to be empty of all cans of motor oil and one supplier said all retailers can expect a 35% increase in motor oil costs in the next 35 days.
  • Israel assassinated the Hamas leader who was in charge of the Hamas hostage program.
  • An Israeli official said Israel is preparing for days or weeks of renewed fighting with Iran.

Sat. Day 78 (May 16, 2026) (Day 25 of Trump’s latest ceasefire extension)

  • Vladimir Putin of Russia will go to China next week for talks with its leader, Xi Jinping, just days after Pres. Trump’s visit to Beijing.
  • It was reported that there was a very large explosion at a rocket factory in Israel. Cause unknown.
  • The IRGC has notified regional countries, primarily the UAE and Saudi Arabia, that if war resumes, Iran will launch devastating, crushing strikes on oil wells and energy facilities.

Sun. Day 79 (May 17, 2026) (Day 26 of Trump’s latest ceasefire extension)

  • A drone strike sparked a fire at an electrical generator outside the UAE Nuclear Power Plant. There were no reports of injuries or radiation leakage.
  • Trump said for Iran, the Clock is Ticking, and they’d better get moving, FAST, or there won’t be anything left of them. Time is of the essence.

Mon. Day 80 (May 18, 2026) (Day 27 of Trump’s latest ceasefire extension)

  • Prime Min. Netanyahu’s office confirmed that the Israeli Navy started intercepting a Turkish-led attempt to sail (more than 40 boats) to Gaza to break Israel’s blockade of the Gaza coast.
  • US Central Command (CENTCOM) played a role in regional air defense that helped intercept “more than 6,000 one-way attack drones and over 1,500 ballistic missiles aimed at US forces, Israel, and Arab partners,” during the recent Iran conflict.
  • Hal Turner Radio reported that JP Morgan Analysis shows the U.S. hits its “Operational Floor” in September. The “Operational Floor” is when there is not enough oil in the storage tanks to weigh down the bottom oil and push it into the pumps to refine it. (The pumps can’t suck the oil into themselves because the oil is too thick and heavy.) If there isn’t enough weight, the thick oil cannot be pumped; refineries are forced to shut down.
  • Trump said he is delaying more strikes on Iran after requests made by Emir of Qatar Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, and President of the United Arab Emirates Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

Tues. Day 81 (May 19, 2026) (Day 28 of Trump’s latest ceasefire extension)

  • Since the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz began on Apr. 13, 2026, the U.S. has redirected 85 commercial vessels.

Wed. Day 82 (May 20, 2026) (Day 29 of Trump’s latest ceasefire extension)

  • An Iranian official said, “All covert and overt actions currently indicate that the enemy intends to restart the war. The people can remain confident that the Armed Forces of Iran have used the ceasefire to rebuild their capabilities.”
  • The IRGC said, if the U.S. attacks Iran again, the promised regional war will this time spread far beyond the region, and our devastating blows will crush you.

Finally, are you Rapture Ready?

If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God, who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.

Looking for Signs :: By Nathele Graham

Published on: by RR10 Category:General Articles, Nathele Graham

People today are used to watching for signs. We go to a store and look at the sign that gives their business hours and for the sign that says if they are open or closed. When we take a road trip, we look for signs telling us how many miles to our destination and if the road we are looking for is getting close. Are you hungry or tired? Watch for the road signs that tell you a motel is ahead or a restaurant. I’m sure you can think of many more signs you look for in your daily life.

Scripture gives us signs of prophetic events, and we need to be aware of them and stay vigilant. Don’t count on religious leaders to help guide you in looking for signs. The Scribes and Pharisees were well-versed in Old Testament Scripture, but missed their Messiah’s appearing. Oh, they knew that the Messiah would come one day, but didn’t believe it would be in their lifetime.

When we study the account of Jesus’ birth, it’s a little surprising that these religious scholars weren’t there at the manger praising God. Bethlehem isn’t far from Jerusalem, which is the Holy City where the Jewish Temple stood. Still, they missed the signs. Shepherds were invited by angels to go to the manger and find the newborn King. The sign would be that they would find Him wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.

“And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger” (Luke 2:12). 

They left their flocks and went looking for the sign to find Jesus. Sometime later, a group of wise men came from the East because they saw His star and followed it.

“Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying Where is he that is born King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him” (Matthew 2:1-2).

When they stopped in Jerusalem to inquire where the King of the Jews had been born, the Pharisees didn’t know about Jesus but did some quick research and found a verse in Micah that said He would be born in Bethlehem.

“But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting” (Micah 5:2). 

Why hadn’t they been watching for the signs? God gave many, many prophecies of Jesus’ birth, life, and even the crucifixion, but the religious leaders were blind to His coming. We also are given signs of His second coming. Are you looking for the signs? It’s getting close, which means the Rapture is getting even closer.

The Old Testament prophets looked forward to the coming of the Messiah, and today we can look at their writings and know that Jesus fulfilled what God foretold. The Jewish people had looked for their Messiah for centuries. Job looked forward to the coming Messiah.

“For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: and though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me” (Job 19:25-27).

Job didn’t have signs to look for, but had faith. King David also had faith. Whatever situation he faced, he turned to God. David wrote Psalms of praise, supplication, and ones that were prophetic. Psalm 22 is a clear picture of the crucifixion. Isaiah was given many prophecies concerning His birth.

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6). 

John the Baptist saw a sign from God that Jesus was the Messiah “And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God” (John 1:32-34).

John saw the sign and knew that Jesus was the Messiah. What did the Pharisees do? They closed their eyes, plugged their ears, and hardened their hearts. They did everything in their power to silence Jesus, and ultimately, they had Him crucified.

During His ministry on Earth, Jesus healed many people, fed crowds with a few fish and a loaf of bread, forgave sins, and cast out demons. Did any of these miracles convince the Scribes and Pharisees that He was the Messiah? Mostly, no. Nicodemus was an exception. He saw the miracles and decided to go talk to Jesus.

“There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him” (John 3:1-2). 

Nicodemus saw signs and wanted answers. Jesus talked to people so they could understand on whatever level of knowledge they had.

When a woman was brought to Him by the Pharisees who wanted her stoned for adultery, Jesus first confronted her accusers, who should have known who Jesus was; then, when they left, Jesus turned to the woman. Like that woman, we are all condemned to death because of sin.

Satan accuses us before the Lord. But we have the same Advocate as that condemned woman. Jesus meets you where you are. He told the woman to “Go and sin no more,” but Nicodemus was a Pharisee who should have known Scripture, so Jesus spoke to him about Scripture. That condemned woman and Nicodemus both needed to have faith. Both were still looking forward to the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, but when it happened, they didn’t need any other sign.

Ultimately, the Pharisees confronted Jesus and asked for a sign. What more of a sign could they want? He fulfilled prophecy, He healed lepers, He cast out demons, He walked on water, and more.

“But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth” (Matthew 12:39-40).

Does that sign mean anything to you? Unfortunately, many pastors won’t teach from the Old Testament. By neglecting the Old Testament, it’s easy to miss many things found in the New Testament. That’s why line upon line, verse upon verse teaching is important, beginning in Genesis and going through Revelation.

Jonah was chosen by God to go to the very evil city of Ninevah and warn them to repent and turn from their evil ways, or else God would destroy them. Jonah clearly heard God’s directions, but had no desire to do anything to save the people of Nineveh. So, he got on a boat headed away from Nineveh. It’s never wise to ignore God’s directions.

“But the LORD sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken” (Jonah 1:4). 

The sailors were terrified and cried to their useless pagan gods, which did no good. Jonah hid below deck and fell asleep. They cast lots in order to find out who was to blame for the storm, and the lot fell on Jonah. Jonah knew God was unhappy with him, and he told the sailors to throw him into the sea. When they did, the sea became calm.

“Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights” (Jonah 1:17).

Jonah knew he had done wrong, and cried out to the LORD. “And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land” (Jonah 2:10). 

Jonah did go to Ninevah, and they did repent, but Jonah wasn’t happy about it. Jesus gave this as the sign the Pharisees would see. Did they recognize Jesus as the Messiah? No, they missed the sign.

Today, we should have no problem recognizing that Jesus is the Messiah…our Redeemer and Lord. Right now, it isn’t too late to repent and find salvation through Him. You must make the choice now while living on this side of Heaven.

Jesus told of a rich man and a beggar named Lazarus. The rich man was too concerned with his money and status to care about the plight of Lazarus. They both died, and the rich man went to a place of torments while Lazarus went to the place of comfort known as Abraham’s Bosom. The rich man will be tormented forever in flames. Don’t think that if you die without accepting Jesus that you’ll just be snuffed out. Everybody lives forever, but only through Jesus will you live with Him in Heaven.

The rich man felt the flames and was thirsty and called to Abraham to send Lazarus with water for him. The answer was no. Then he became concerned that his family would suffer his same eternity, and wanted Abraham to send Lazarus to warn them.

“Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. And he [the rich man] said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. And he [Abraham] said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead” (Luke 16:29-31). 

We also have Moses and the Prophets, which we call the Old Testament. We also have the New Testament. If you’re looking for signs that Jesus is the Messiah, go to Scripture. Jesus rose from the dead, and you need to repent and have faith in His death, burial, and resurrection. You don’t want to join the rich man in torments, and Jesus is the only way to avoid that.

The Holy Spirit will meet you where you are. You may be like the woman taken in adultery, and your sins may be obvious. Jesus didn’t go into a long theological discussion with her, but simply told her to stop sinning. With Nicodemus, He went into more detail. Nicodemus should have seen the signs because he studied Scripture.

All sin can be forgiven, but nobody can be saved without Jesus. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6).

There is no sin so big that it cannot be forgiven, and even the most “holier than thou” pew sitters need that same forgiveness through Jesus. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).

Everyone must repent. Nicodemus, the woman taken in adultery, the rich man, and Lazarus all had sin, and they all had Moses and the prophets to teach them God’s ways. So do we. We also have Jesus, who rose from the dead, and the New Testament to guide us. Don’t take a detour while you’re looking for the way to Heaven. Jesus is the only way. Don’t miss the signs.

Time is getting short, and you might be looking for signs of Jesus’ return. Don’t be blind like the Scribes and Pharisees. Read Matthew 24 and 25, and you’ll be astonished by how many signs are happening. Famine, pestilence, earthquakes, war. These things are happening today, but as they are happening more frequently with greater impact, we can be sure Jesus will call His ekklesia (the church) Home soon.

Many question the fact of the Rapture. These people are influenced more by human interpretation than by God’s word. Whether you’re looking for the Rapture or expecting to face the Great Tribulation, you must have faith in Jesus. Remember, God won’t force you to place your faith in Him, but the choice must be made while living on this side of eternity.

The signs are all in place, but the exact day is still a mystery. Don’t wait to repent, hoping to see another sign. Jesus gave His life so you can spend eternity with Him. You have a choice, so choose wisely.

Life in Paradise or life in Torments? Only Jesus will lead you to Paradise. Study Scripture and you’ll see signs that prophecy is being fulfilled quickly and the Rapture could happen at any moment. Don’t delay. Follow Jesus now.

God bless you all,

Nathele Graham
