Oliver Anthony Music produced a song titled “I Want to Go Home.”

Here are the lyrics.

[Verse 1]

• If it wasn’t for my old dogs and the good Lord
  They’d have me strung up in the psych ward
  ‘Cause every day livin’ in this new world
  Is one too many days to me

[Verse 2]

• Son, we’re on the brink of the next World War
  And I don’t think nobody’s prayin’ no more
  And I ain’t sayin’ I know it for sure
  I’m just down on my knees

[Chorus]

• Beggin’, Lord, take me home
  I wanna go home
  I don’t know which road to go
  It’s been so long
  I just know I didn’t used to wake up feelin’ this way
  Cussin’ myself every damn day
  Well, people have really gone and lost their way
  They all just do what the TV say
  I wanna go home

[Verse 3]

• Four generations farmin’ the ground
  Grandson sells it to a man out of town
  And two weeks later, the trees go down
  Only got concrete growin’ around

[Chorus]

• And I wanna go home
  I wanna go home
  I don’t know which road to go
  It’s been so long
  I just know I didn’t used to wake up feelin’ this way
  Cussin’ myself every damn day
  Well, people have really gone and lost their way
  They all just do what the TV say
  I wanna go home

[Outro]

• If it wasn’t for my old dogs and the good Lord
  They’d have me strung up in the psych ward

I receive e-mails from readers that I believe think this way (they are getting old, the world has changed, we are on the brink of a world war, people have lost their way, people are not praying, etc.).

They want to go home.

The Lord didn’t show us these things to make us afraid.

He showed us these things to let us know that we are getting close.

Here are some recent events that seem to verify that:

One, concerning a changed world and the coming world government: on July 23, 2026, The Expose posted these comments by Rhoda Wilson:

• More and more people recognize that the so-called climate emergency is not about the Earth’s climate but is a vehicle for wealth redistribution, central planning and eroding national borders in favor of supranational governance.
• So, the UN is trying to muscle in, take control and force its climate scam on all nations.
• The Globalist organization has taken it upon itself to declare that its climate decrees are “international law” and nations must obey or face the consequences.
• Irrespective of what the UN or any of its puppets say or do, we must never lose sight of the facts: CO₂, the gas of life, is not the enemy; centralized power pretending to save the planet at the expense of liberty is.

Here is a link to the entire article:

Two, concerning the ashes of a red heifer and a rebuilt Temple: on July 24, 2026, the Prophecy News Watch (PNW) staff reported the following:

• For nearly two thousand years, Tisha B’Av (July 22-23 in 2026) has been a day of mourning.
• Jewish communities fast, pray, and remember the destruction of the First and Second Temples–the sacred center of Israel’s national and religious life that once stood in Jerusalem.
• It is a day defined by loss, exile and the painful absence of something that has never been restored.
• That makes the timing of a new red heifer’s birth especially striking.
• Born in the Golan Heights shortly before Tisha B’Av, the calf is reportedly the second potential red heifer born in Israel within approximately six weeks.
• At the same time, two additional red heifers have been inseminated in Ancient Shiloh as part of a broader effort to develop a sustainable herd.
• One calf does not mean the Third Temple is about to be built.
• But it does reveal something important: The Temple is no longer merely an ancient memory.
• For a growing number of Israelis, it is becoming a living dream.

Three, concerning the tracking of all buying and selling in the future: on July 26, 2026, Michael Snyder reported that many cities in the U.S. can deploy drones with AI cameras that can read license plates from 2,000 feet away (almost one-half mile).

Snyder reported that:

• More than 120,000 are actively operating in the U.S. now.
• Information such as a car’s make, model, color, location, date, and time, and identifying information such as dents, bumper stickers, decals, etc., is stored in a database.
• The database is searchable, and the number of cameras is constantly increasing.

Four, concerning an increase in the frequency and intensity of natural disasters at the end of the age: on July 28, 2026, a 6.8 earthquake struck southern Japan.

14 people were killed, and thousands of workers have been mobilized to search for trapped victims.

Five, concerning Israel having silver and gold, cattle and goods, at the end of the age: on July 28, 2026, Israel reported that it exported $169 billion dollars’ worth of goods in 2025.

Six, concerning a rebuilt Temple (I believe during the Tribulation Period):

• The nascent (powerless) Sanhedrin issued a formal ruling this week, asking the Holy One, Blessed be He, to remove hostile forces from the Jewish people and the Land of Israel, reveal the Mashiach (Messiah), rebuild the Beit HaMikdash (Holy Temple), and restore prophecy to Israel.
• The written ruling, dated 6 Menachem Av, 5786, follows a session the court’s members described as several hours long, during which two of the judges argued against moving forward before ultimately joining the majority.

Here are some day-to-day reports on what is happening in the U.S.-Iran war.

• The IRGC has posted a video outlining plans and suggestions on how to kill Melania Trump and then Barron.
• On July 28, 2026, Michael Snyder posted these words, “Iran is never going to give Trump the nuclear concessions that he is seeking, and they have once again made it very clear that commercial traffic will never be allowed to flow freely through the Strait of Hormuz the way that it did before the war.

• Discussions with mediators in Cairo are continuing and making progress as negotiators work to finalize a comprehensive roadmap for Gaza’s future governance and security arrangements. The roadmap is designed as a balanced and pragmatic framework centered on the complete decommissioning of all weapons and a phased transition of responsibilities to a technocratic government. There will be no exceptions for certain weapons or certain people. One authority, one law, one weapon.
• Iran launched missiles and drones at Jordan and Kuwait.

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.

God said He knows the end from the beginning and that He declares what has not yet come.

He added that He will do what He wants to do, and that His counsel will stand (Isa. 46:10).

I believe that His ability to reveal the future proves that He is God because He has given hundreds of signs (the return of Israel, the rebuilding of Jerusalem, etc.) that demonstrate His ability (even though some of the prophecies are more than 2,000 years old).

Think about it: God revealed the exact day the Messiah would arrive the first time (173,880 days from the commandment to restore and rebuild Jerusalem; Dan. 9:25; Neh. 2:1-8).

How did He know?

This is the point: If God revealed the exact day the Messiah was coming the first time, it should be pretty easy for us to believe that the signs of Messiah’s Second Coming are accurate.

I believe current events are proof positive that He is God and He is the Author of the Future.

Here are some recent articles that seem to indicate that the end of the age is close.

One, concerning wars and rumors of wars: on July 16, the U.S. attacked Iran’s bridges and railroads.

Iran has said that if their infrastructure is hit by the U.S., then Iran will target every last piece of infrastructure of countries in the Middle East assisting the U.S.

Iran specifically cited oil infrastructure.

One reader reminded me that:

• Yemen is on standby to close the Red Sea if the US were to bomb Iran’s infrastructure.
• The bombs happened!
• Saudi Arabia and Yemen are at odds, to complicate matters.
• Moreover, Pakistan has a protection umbrella agreement with Saudi Arabia.

Two, concerning an increase in the frequency and intensity of natural disasters at the end of the age: officials are reporting that more than 10,000 people died above expected levels across Europe during the record-breaking late-June heatwave.

More: On July 16, 2026, Texas was bracing for record-shattering rainfall.

More: Millions of Americans are under air quality alerts this week as more than 800 wildfires continue to rage across Canada. The wildfires are not due to a single cause and can be exacerbated by seasonal conditions, including drought and warm weather. Some were sparked by lightning, which can strike hard-to-reach areas of Canada’s forests and is responsible for most of the total area burned in Canada.

More: Governor Patrick Morrisey declared a State of Emergency for all 55 counties in West Virginia on July 21, after severe thunderstorms produced flash flooding, landslides, road closures, and other hazardous conditions across the state. Flooding has surpassed record levels.

Three, concerning all nations turning against Israel at the end of the age: on July 15, 2026, a majority of House Democrats casting a yes-or-no vote supported cutting off funds designated for Israel, marking one of the clearest signs yet that the Democratic Party is shifting away from its longstanding support for the Jewish state.

Four, concerning the Battle of Gog of Magog and Russia’s desire for a spoil and a prey in Israel (Ezek. 38:12): on July 20, 2026, it was reported that “due to the extensive damage Ukrainian drones have inflicted on refineries deep inside Russian territory, Russia has begun importing refined petroleum products – primarily gasoline – from India.”

Russia is beginning to need energy, and Israel has it.

Five, Israel has started working with Christian groups to prepare for a celebration of the 2,000th anniversary of the baptism of Jesus in 2030.

The initiative is expected to include preparations at the place on the western bank of the Jordan River where John the Baptist baptized Jesus.

Israel expects millions of Christians to visit their nation during the year 2030.

Six, concerning the persecution of Christians and Jews at the end of the age: on July 20, 2026, it was reported that, in the Muslim-controlled city of Dearborn, Mich., Christians and Jews have become second-class citizens, facing selective enforcement, propaganda, and real violence.

According to the article, Dearborn’s mayor openly tells Christians they “are not welcome here.”
