In the Old Testament,

• God said the Messiah would be a descendant of Abraham, then Isaac, then Jacob (whose name was changed to Israel), and He was.
• God said the Messiah would be a descendant of David, and He was.
• God said the Messiah would come from the Israeli tribe of Judah, and He did.
• God said the Jews would be put off the Promised Land one year for every year they did not let the land rest when they were on it (70 years), and Babylon put the Jews off the Promised Land for 70 years.
• God said Babylon would be destroyed 70 years after Babylon destroyed Israel, and the Medes and Persians conquered Babylon exactly 70 years after Babylon destroyed Israel.
• God said the Messiah would enter into Jerusalem riding on a donkey and the foal of a donkey, and He did.
• God said the Messiah’s hands and feet would be pierced hundreds of years before crucifixion was invented, and His hands and feet were nailed to a cross.
• God said the Jews would reject the Messiah, and they did.
• God said Jerusalem and the Temple would be destroyed, and the Romans did that in 70 A.D.

This list could continue on for several pages and hundreds of prophecies, but it clearly shows that what God says will happen actually does happen.

And this is the point: We should not be surprised by what is happening today.

• God said Israel would come back into being in one day, and it happened.
• God said Jerusalem would be rebuilt and be a problem for the world, and it is.
• God said Israel would become a great army, and it is.
• God said Israel would possess Jerusalem; Israel captured Jerusalem in 1967, and Pres. Trump recognized Jerusalem as the undivided capital of Israel in 2017.
• God said the Temple will be rebuilt, and Hamas said they started the war in Gaza to stop the Jews from rebuilding the Temple.
• God said the Roman Empire would be destroyed (and revived at the end of the age), and 27 nations have formed the EU.
• God said the Euphrates River would dry up during the Tribulation Period. Turkey and Syria have built 7 dams on the river, and because of that and drought, Iraq’s water supply from the Tigris and Euphrates rivers is lower than it has been in more than 80 years.
• God said there will be a world government after the Restrainer is removed (I believe that means the Rapture), and the UN and many globalists are trying to create a world government (New World Order; Great Reset, etc.), by 2030 or sooner, if possible.
• God said the Tribulation Period will begin with a worthless peace treaty with many for 7 years in the Middle East, and many nations will soon gather to try to force one on Israel.
• God said the coming world government will track all buying and selling during the Tribulation Period, and the technology to do that is being developed right now.
• God said Russia, Iran, and others will join forces and attack Israel in the latter days and latter years. Iran is threatening to attack Israel now, and Russia and Iran have just signed a military cooperation agreement.

This list is like the first list above.

Much more could be added, but God’s Word is clearly being fulfilled, and we should not be surprised.

He told us to watch, and we could see the end of the age approaching.

Those who are watching see it, but sadly, most aren’t watching, and most don’t see it.

(BTW: In an article dated June 5, 2025, the Prophecy News Watch staff wrote, “Every fulfilled prophecy stands as proof of its credibility–from the birth of Christ to the rebirth of Israel in 1948. We don’t need to guess whether God’s Word is true. History has already confirmed it.”)

Here are some recent events that seem to indicate that the end of the age is here.

One, concerning wars and rumors of wars: on May 28, 2025, Germany agreed to help Ukraine produce long-range missiles that can reach Russian territory.

(More: On June 1, 2025, Russia said this is an escalation of the war and in response Russia is preparing to launch a massive ground assault to seize 11 more villages in Ukraine.)

(More: on June 2, 2025, British Prime Min. Keir Starmer announced a sweeping overhaul of the United Kingdom’s defense posture to put the country into a state of war-fighting readiness in response to rising global threats, particularly from Russia.)

Two, on May 22, 2025, it was reported that France is pressuring Western nations to recognize the existence of a Palestinian state in Gaza at an upcoming meeting on June 17-20, 2025.

On May 28, 2025, it was reported that:

• Israel has reportedly warned key European nations that any unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state could prompt Jerusalem to extend sovereignty over parts of Judea and Samaria.
• Unilateral moves against Israel will be met with unilateral moves by Israel.

(Update: At a UN Security Council meeting on May 29, 2025, the U.S. firmly rejected France’s attempt to recognize a Palestinian State.)

(More: On May 31, 2025, it was reported that the U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, said, “If France is really so determined to see a Palestinian state, I have a suggestion for them–carve out a piece of the French Riviera and create a Palestinian state. They are welcome to do that, but they are not welcome to impose that kind of pressure on a sovereign nation. And I find it revolting that they think they have the right to do such a thing.”)

(More: On June 3, 2025, it was reported that the U.S. has issued a stark warning to its key allies, the United Kingdom and France, against unilaterally recognizing a Palestinian state in the Gaza Strip.)

(My opinion: The Bible says all that is in heaven and earth is God’s; I Chron. 29:11. The UK, France, and the Arabs will pay a heavy price if they try to create a Palestinian State in the Gaza Strip.)

Three, concerning Israel’s great army and its war with Hezbollah in Lebanon: on May 29, 2025, it was reported that,

• The Lebanese army has dismantled large parts of Hezbollah’s infrastructure in southern Lebanon with the help of Israeli intelligence.
• Both Israeli and American officials expressed surprise at the extent of the progress.
• Lebanon is also promoting a multi-phase plan to disarm Palestinian armed groups operating primarily in densely populated refugee camps.

Four, concerning the wannabe UN world government: on May 29, 2025, it was reported that Trump’s cuts in funding to the UN has prompted Sec. Gen. Guterres to eliminate 20% of the UN’s 35,000 strong workforce by June 13, 2025.

One critic said the UN needs to do more than cut jobs.

The UN needs to reform its policies.

Five, concerning deceit and Iran’s desire to be an Islamic world government: on May 31, 2025, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported that Iran carried out a secret nuclear program with undeclared material and has conducted covert experiments.

(More: On June 1, 2025, the IAEA confirmed that Iran now possesses 900 pounds of uranium that has been enriched to 60%, and it is enough to start producing one nuclear bomb every month. Israeli Prime Min. Netanyahu said the international community must act now to stop Iran.)

(My opinion: I have written many good things about Pres. Trump appointing Christians to important positions in his administration, his mention of Jesus, his holding Christian worship services at the White House and Mar-a-Lago, etc., and I still believe it. But there is something that he, Witkoff, and others may not understand or believe: Iran’s leader is under the influence of a demonic spirit called the Prince of Persia – Dan. 10:13 – and the Prince of Persia is under the influence of a Snake called Satan – Eph. 6:12. Trump’s desire to negotiate and make a deal with the demonically influenced leader of Iran is a dangerous waste of time. Trump’s warning Israel not to attack Iran’s nuclear sites while these negotiations are going on seems to be a mistake to me.)

(More opinion: Hamas is under the influence of Iran, so a ceasefire with Hamas and restraints on Israel is another waste of time. The end of the age has arrived, and the wars and rumors of wars will continue.

(More: On June 4, 1015, Iran’s Supreme Leader, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, rejected U.S. demands to halt uranium enrichment.)

Six, concerning Iran’s efforts to produce nuclear weapons: on June 1, 2025, an unofficial source said Trump’s Middle East Envoy, Steve Witkoff, has adopted a proposal by Oman to establish a regional consortium that would enrich uranium for Iran’s civilian use, under the supervision of the IAEA and the United States government.

According to Witkoff, it would be in Iran’s best interest for Iran to accept the proposal.

Seven, concerning robots that can speak (Rev. 13:15-18) and perhaps track all buying and selling, on May 29, 2025, Patrick Wood (author and technology expert) reported that:

• Thailand has just unveiled a huge humanoid-looking ROBOCOP with the rank of Colonel (Nakhonpathom Plod Phai).
• It wears the uniform, sees the world through 360-degree cameras, performs continuous facial recognition, and can arrest criminals.

Eight, concerning the climate change scam: on June 3, 2025, a ship carrying 3,000 vehicles (800 were electric vehicles) burned and sank off the coast of Alaska, and the sailors had to be rescued when some of the electric vehicles caught on fire.

Efforts to put out the fire, save the ship and vehicles, etc., failed.

FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go to Hell because we sin), but God has provided a way (Jesus) for everyone to go to Heaven (and He is the only way to get there; John 14:6).

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.

Jesus said, “The thief [false teachers and ultimately Satan because false teachers are subject to Satan] cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy; I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (Jn. 10:10).

The writer to the Hebrews said, “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil” (Heb. 2:14).

God created Adam and Eve in bodies of flesh and blood, but Satan came to deceive and destroy them.

Jesus could have come as a spirit being (God; a burning bush; a pillar of cloud, a pillar of fire, etc.), but He came in a body of flesh and blood like Adam and Eve (like you and I) so He could die and destroy Satan, who had power over death.

Jesus also died so He could rise again and take away the fear of death.

His resurrection proved that death and the grave could not destroy Him.

Jesus was indestructible.

Death and the grave were temporary for Him.

God can make people and nations indestructible just like Jesus.

The gates of Hell will not prevail against the Church (will not totally destroy it).

The 144,000 Jewish evangelists will be indestructible during the Tribulation Period (they will be sealed, and not even one will die by the hands of the Antichrist or in the terrible disasters).

The Two Witnesses will be indestructible for three and one-half years, then they will be killed, but God will raise them from the dead (their death will be temporary).

Samson was indestructible as long as he didn’t allow his hair to be cut.

Israel cannot be permanently destroyed because God made a covenant to give the Promised Land to Israel.

Satan is doing his best to inspire radical Islam to destroy Israel, but He cannot do it.

He goes about as a roaring lion (I Pet. 5:8), but someone said he is a toothless roaring lion.

The Rapture will prove that death and the grave are temporary for true Christians.

Consider this:

• “Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; the Lord of Hosts is his name; If those ordinances depart from me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel shall cease being a nation before me for ever” (Jer. 31:35-36).

Israel’s enemies would have to destroy the sun, moon, and stars to destroy Israel, and that is not going to happen.

As I see it, Satan has blinded them into setting up their own destruction.

Here are some recent events that seem to indicate that the end of the age is here.

One, concerning the division of Israel: on May 22, 2025, it was reported that France is pressuring Western nations to recognize the existence of a Palestinian state in Gaza at an upcoming meeting on June 17-20, 2025.

The U.S. and Israel are working to block the move.

(Update: On May 23, 2025, an advisor to French Pres. Macron said only the implementation of a two-state solution will restore peace, prosperity, and security for Israelis, Palestinians, and the entire region.)

(Update: On May 23, 2025, the UN hosted a meeting to prepare for the June 17-20, 2025, effort to recognize the existence of a Palestinian state in Gaza. According to organizers, the goal is to produce an action-oriented outcome document detailing irreversible steps and concrete measures toward implementing a two-state solution.)

(Update: On May 25, 2025, representatives of several European and Arab nations met in Madrid, Spain, and called upon the international community to put sanctions on Israel to stop the war in Gaza.)

(My opinion: These unbelievers may think they can produce peace and safety in the Middle East, but they are more likely to provoke the wrath of God; see Joel 3:1-2.).

Two, in a letter to the UN on May 22, 2025, Iran said if Israel attacks Iran’s nuclear facilities, Iran will hold the U.S. responsible.

Iran urged the international community to take preemptive measures against Israel to prevent the attack.

(Update: On May 27, 2025, it was reported that satellite imagery has revealed a significant U.S. military buildup at the Diego Garcia air base in the Indian Ocean, suggesting heightened readiness amid rising tensions with Iran.)

Three, concerning the war in Gaza and the radical Islamic effort to destroy Israel: at a meeting in France on May 24, 2025, former Hamas hostage, Agam Berger, said,

• Israel has no choice but to fight the terrorist group.
• Diplomatic solutions won’t work because it’s either us or them.

Four, concerning wars and rumors of wars and Israel expanding its borders at the end of the age: on May 25, 2025, Israel announced that it plans to seize 75% of the Gaza Strip in the next two months.

Five, concerning the danger of Islamic infiltration and the hatred for Jews, on May 21, 2025, a terrorist shouting ‘free Palestine’ gunned down an engaged couple in front of a Jewish museum in Washington, D.C.

It has now been reported that the soon-to-be married couple were believers in Jesus.

Six, concerning radical Islam’s effort to establish an Islamic world government and religion: on May 23, 2025, the RAIR Foundation reported that:

• A landmark French intelligence report has revealed that the Muslim Brotherhood has constructed a vast, foreign-funded, ideologically driven infrastructure across France – spanning mosques, schools, digital media, and parallel local governance systems – with the ultimate goal of replacing secular democratic rule with Sharia, and warns that this same model is being replicated in Western nations, including the United States.

Here is a link to the entire article:

https://rairfoundation.com/france-has-fallen-muslim-brotherhood-government-report-exposes/

Seven, concerning efforts to spread Islam in the U.S.: on May 25, 2025, Conservative News Daily reported that:

• Qatar’s active foreign agents have donated nearly $700,000 to members of Congress and other government officials since 2020 and, at the same time, enjoyed open lines of communication and face time with influential lawmakers — often the very same people they cut checks to, according to a Washington Examinerreview of hundreds of public records.

Eight, concerning the expansion of Israel’s borders at the end of the age, and in response to Islamic terrorist efforts to drive the Jews out of Samaria on May 22, 2025, Israel announced plans to build thirteen cities with 180,000 housing units and five industrial zones throughout Samaria.

The indestructible nation of Israel is planning to answer those that are trying to destroy Israel by strengthening Israel’s hold on part of the Promised Land.

(My opinion: The Holy Spirit is continuing to draw Jews out of the nations and back to the Holy Land.)

Nine, concerning a borderless world (world government): on May 25, 2025, nine EU nations released a letter they sent to the EU Court of Human Rights, accusing the court of tying their hands when it comes to deporting criminal migrants and protecting their citizens.

Here is some of what they said:

• The rights and security of law-abiding citizens must take precedence over the rights of foreign criminals and illegal migrants.
• Foreign regimes are using mass migration to destabilize Europe.
• Security and sovereignty must be restored.
• A Europe that cannot protect its people is a Europe that will not last.

(My opinion: A world government is shaping up, and all nations will soon lose their sovereignty.)

Ten, concerning world government: on May 20, 2025, the World Health Organization (WHO) finally got its long-sought approval of a global pandemic agreement (international coordination and surveillance of responses to pandemics).

The U.S. opposed this agreement, but it passed anyway.

The purpose of global coordination and surveillance (tracking) of health issues is global control of everyone on Earth.

Following passage of the agreement, RFK, Jr. said,

• I urge the world’s health ministers and the WHO to take our withdrawal from the organization as a wake-up call.
• It isn’t that President Trump and I have lost interest in international cooperation. Not at all.
• We want a free international health cooperation from the straitjacket of political interference by corrupting influences of the pharmaceutical companies, of adversarial nations, and their NGO proxies.

(My opinion: Giving unelected foreigners the power to track and force people to be vaccinated, wear masks, stay six feet apart, limit church attendance, etc., or lose their job is dangerous. There is tons of evidence that the Covid-19 vaccinations killed or sickened people all over the world.)

Eleven, on May 27, 2025, it was reported that Elon Musk said tens of billions of humanoid robots will populate the Earth by 2040.

Those who said a 200-million-man army (Rev. 9:16) is impossible may need to rethink the issue.

Twelve, concerning the Two-State Solution: I saw a brief video clip on May 27, 2925, in which Pres. Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner said the end state needs two elements:

• One, Israel has to have security and not be threatened by its neighbors, and be able to protect its citizens. That is crucial and non-negotiable, and most of the world agrees with that.
• Two, the Palestinian people have to have the opportunity to live a better life. It is not enough to say it has to be a state. It has to be a state that can function and thrive.

(My opinion: God gave all of the Promised Land to Israel, and His promise must be fulfilled. He will not accept the Two-State Solution. It will not produce peace and safety. If not stopped by the U.S. and Israel, the upcoming June 17-20 conference to recognize a Palestinian State COULD produce the covenant that will be confirmed by the Antichrist.)

FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go to Hell because we sin), but God has provided a way (Jesus) for everyone to go to Heaven (and He is the only way to get there; John 14:6).

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.
