THE PROPHETIC CLOCK IS TICKING

Apostasy and Doctrine of Demons

Hubris of the Catholic Church. A recent statement by so-called “Patriarchs & Heads of Churches in Jerusalem on Unity & Representation of Christian Communities in the Holy Land” was filled with the spirit of arrogance, power and desire to control. They claim they’re the “Patriarchs and Heads of all the churches.” In the article, they reiterated that they alone represent all the churches in all matters pertaining to “Christian” life in the Holy Land. The Bible specifically says Israel is to be forever undivided with Jerusalem as its capital. This is where the Messiah will reign from – not Rome! You left Jerusalem 2,000 years ago, and you can stay in Rome!

Islam Incursion

The Pakistanification of Texas Rages On, One Bill at a Time. Two Pakistani-born Democrat lawmakers are pushing bills and resolutions that are effectively importing Pakistan’s ideological agenda into Texas law. This isn’t about tolerance; it’s about ideological replacement happening right now — in a Republican-led state.

VICTORY: Texas School District Cancels CAIR-Linked Islamic Games; Patriot Pressure Works.
Texas patriots exposed and defeated an attempted infiltration: A public school district nearly rented taxpayer-funded grounds to CAIR-sponsored 2026 Islamic Games—until relentless reporting, lawmaker outrage, and state terror designation forced GCISD to cancel the event, proving vigilance stops radical agendas from taking root in our children’s schools.

WARNING: Turkey’s Military Mosques Invading America – ‘Barracks for Faithful Soldiers’ Just Like Europe. “America is rolling out the red carpet for our own conquerors.” Erdogan continues to fund and build massive complexes on American soil – barracks disguised as mosques, enforcing Turkish identity over American values, and building unassimilated communities just miles from our capital.

An Inside Look at Congress’ New Anti-Sharia Law Caucus . Less than a month after it was launched, 24 Republicans in the House of Representatives have already joined the Sharia Free America Caucus to “fight back against the radical ideology” and “save Western Civilization from the threat of Sharia.”

Hatred of Christianity

Christian Persecution Reaches All-Time High in 15 countries across Africa, Asia and the Middle East, according to an annual ranking of 50 most dangerous nations for Christ-followers.

Hatred of Jews and Israel

Israel launches major Aliyah initiative as antisemitism surges in Western countries, following Hama’s massacre on Oct. 7, 2023 of 1,200 Israelis. Antisemitic incidents between 2022 and 2024 soared by 562% in Canada, 450% in the UK, 350% in France, and 387% in Australia.

‘No longer safe’: Trump weighs asylum plan for UK Jews amid rising antisemitism. Trump adviser Robert Garson says the administration is exploring asylum for UK Jews, warning Britain is “no longer safe” amid rising antisemitism.

Pervasive Perversion and the Abortion Abomination

Teacher Imprisoned for Refusing to Use Student’s “They/Them” Pronouns. Enoch Burke is a Christian and teacher in Ireland. He objected to addressing a ‘transitioning’ student by a new name and the pronoun “they,” arguing that complying with this request would violate his Christian beliefs and constitutional rights. He’s spent 560 days in prison since then and racked up €225,000 in court fines. As of yesterday, he’s back in Mountjoy prison again.

76 Republicans Vote to Fund Abortions & “Trans” Procedures. 76 House Republicans joined every single House Democrat in support of earmarks for abortions, gender procedures on children, DEI activism, and partisan pet projects. With Republicans like these, who needs Democrats?

Virginia Democrats Pass Amendment for Abortions Up to Birth, sending the measure to voters in a November referendum. Republicans opposed the amendment and attempted to preserve parental consent laws or ensure care for babies born alive, but these were rejected by extreme Democrats who want no limits on killing babies before birth.

Last Days Traitors

All Over America, Thousands of Radicals Recruited for “Rapid Response Teams” Designed to Swarm ICE. The stage is being set for one of the most dramatic years of civil unrest. In major cities, vast numbers of far-left activists are recruited for “rapid response teams” that seek to disrupt ICE operations as much as possible. When members of these “teams” confront ICE officers, violence often erupts. We’ve seen many examples, but the left is not going to back down now. They plan to take things to an entirely new level.

Wars and Rumors of Wars

Strike against Khamenei would be ‘all-out war on Iran,’ warns its president as latest estimate says regime killed 16,500 protesters . Residents in Tehran chanted from their homes, “Death to the dictator” and “This is the final battle; Pahlavi will return.” The British Sunday Times estimated over 16,500 protesters have been killed based on accounts from a network of Iranian doctors, and that at least 330,000 were injured. Several thousand were deliberately blinded. Most of the carnage occurred last Friday and Saturday. Most of the dead were under 30, but the death toll includes children and pregnant women.

Continuing Calls for Peace and Security

Trump Launches Board of Peace, Says International Body Will Work ‘In Conjunction With’ UN.
“Once this board is completely formed, we can do pretty much whatever we want to do. And we’ll do it in conjunction with the UN,” Trump said, adding that the UN had great potential that hadn’t been fully utilized. “This isn’t the US, this is for the world,” he added. “I think we can spread it out to other things as we succeed in Gaza.” The board‘s creation was endorsed by a UN Security Council resolution as part of Trump‘s Gaza peace plan, and UN spokesperson Gomez said UN engagement with the board would only be in that context.

Conclusion

Don’t Be Fooled; We Live in a Time Unlike Any Other in Human History. The most telling difference between today and no other time in all of Church history is this: since 1948, Israel has existed as an independent nation capable of entering into the covenant with antichrist that will start Daniel’s seventieth week. The extensive preparations for another temple and animal sacrifices also tell us we live in the shadow of the rapidly approaching Tribulation period.

Concluding Scripture

“But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers…. Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy” (1 Peter 4:7, 12-13).

A Great Documentary

I try to bring somewhat different perspectives for you, the reader, through this Israel Watch column. That means that there are weeks when I don’t do a straight “Israel analysis” column.

This week is another week like that. Instead, I want to talk about something that will hopefully give you an interesting look at how we support Israel.

Over the weekend, I came across a fantastic new documentary, “The Israel Dilemma,” promoted by Answers in Genesis. I found it on their website. Hosted by Timothy Mahoney, of the “Patterns of Evidence” group. A stellar production from start to finish. Now, some personal background about this, then I’ll dive into the documentary itself.

In 2007, I wrote an Israel Watch column in which I mentioned that Answers in Genesis did not discuss eschatology. That was objectively true, but I ruffled some feathers there by stating that fact. Large ministries are sensitive to any perceived criticisms. Ironically, I had in the paragraph before that statement praised AiG for the magnificent work they’ve always done in the area of creation vs. evolution.

In fact, until I left the publisher I worked for, I had been an editor on several AiG projects. I knew them very well.

My point in relating this background is to pivot to AiG’s recent willingness to now broach the subject. It should be obvious that I am giving credit where credit is due. My personal view all these years is that if a national ministry would offer a “bookends” approach—handling both origins and eschatology, and everything in-between—their audiences would mushroom and be energized in a “whole Bible” approach.

(It should be obvious that discussions of eschatology are controversial only because of emotions rising in such discussions. I very well understand that a creationist-based ministry does not want to get bogged-down in ridiculous debates and arguments over Dispensationalism, Replacement Theology, eschatological timelines. But my “bookends” model is sound.) Here is the blurb from AiG:

“While AiG does not involve itself in eschatological discussions, it is still important to study Scripture and understand that since Scripture was true about a past judgment by God (in this case, the conquest and exile of both Israel and Judah), then it will also be true about a future judgment by him. Whether referring to Rome’s conquest of Israel in AD 70 or any future judgments, the principle is the same. God can and does judge sin, and Christ will return to this earth in judgment. We can and should help unbelievers see the connection between past and future biblical judgments so that we might more effectively share the gospel of Jesus Christ.”

So, kudos to AiG for advertising this on their huge website. Now to the documentary itself. By the way, the sequel to it, “The Israel Dilemma II,” is now ready! I am beyond excited to see it, because there they will delve into more specific Bible prophecies. I plan to watch it over the upcoming snowy weekend.

Honestly, I always start out with a skeptical view on these things. Just like I pay very close attention to the translators’ notes on new Bible versions. For example, if a new translation is soft on the creation accounts in Genesis, I write-off that version. Likewise, if they offer Replacement Theology perspectives, or otherwise diss Israel, I stop reading. (This is one reason I study from the King James Version; I don’t need modern translators, many of whom are liberal, to interpret Scripture for me.)

Now to the documentary.

First, Mahoney interviewed Benjamin Netanyahu and the late Shimon Peres. The latter is especially intriguing, because he wasn’t known as a religious guy. Still, he acknowledges the biblical themes of Israel and even showed a very deft understanding of the distinctions between the Holy Land and the Promised Land (in my view, Christians over the years have gotten comfortable calling Israel “The Holy Land,” rather than…Israel. Most do this without malice or agenda, but I do believe many Christian leaders have used this term as a way not to have to say “Israel.”)

Mahoney then talks with conservative thinkers and scholars like Peter Gentry, Rabbi Mannis Friedman, and Brent Kinman. As a matter of balance, he also interviews well-known Israeli archeologist Israel Finkelstein, a person who is not convinced that many biblical accounts are actually factual. Interestingly, Finkelstein later in the documentary does acknowledge the historicity of some events.

Mahoney makes many very relevant points, looking at various prophecies.

If the prophecies are true, then it means life is not a meaningless cycle of events but is part of a Divine plan. It’s mentioned that God’s prophecies are “Headed toward definite outcomes.” In this way, prophecy refutes random evolution! This is an important point. It also forges a worldview alliance with groups like Answers in Genesis.

On this note, Mahoney said, ““This means prophecy can provide a kind of scientific tool.”

EXACTLY!

About the Bible and its prophecies, they are, “A verifiable test of its legitimacy.”

YES!

Joel Richardson also states that a great evidence for the God of the Bible is the People of Israel. Yes, yes, and yes. (This is the hallmark of my own site, The God That Answers.)

All in all, I highly recommend that you watch these documentaries.
