Anxious :: By Daymond Duck

Published on: November 15, 2025November 15, 2025 by RR10

I receive dozens of e-mails from Rapture Ready readers every day.

A few readers send me several e-mails every day.

They want to be sure that I didn’t miss important reports, and some hope that I will alert others.

I have already read most of the articles they send, but I receive a few articles about things that I was unaware of.

I try to pass on reports about things that I believe people should know.

I receive a few e-mails from readers that tell me they are anxious for the Rapture to happen.

Quite often, they want to join deceased loved ones in heaven (some are sick, elderly, lonesome, etc.).

Some say:

I can’t wait for the Rapture to happen.
I wish the Rapture would happen today.
I hope I don’t have to wait a long time until Jesus comes for His church.
I hope I don’t have to wait until the Feast of Trumpets arrives next year.
The sooner the better.
There will be something in the news about world government, a global ID, Iran threatening to attack Israel, or whatever, and they will say hooray, glory, hallelujah, it means we are getting close.

This is the point: a few people, not all, are anxious for the Rapture to happen.

Here are some recent events that seem to indicate that the end of the age is close:

One, on Nov. 6, 2025, Pres. Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, announced that Kazakhstan will join the Abraham Accords.

Some prophecy teachers believe the Abraham Accords could lead to a covenant of peace with many in the Middle East that may be confirmed by the Antichrist in the future.

We cannot be sure of that, but it bears watching.

Two, following the announcement that Kazakhstan will sign the Abraham Accords, the Prophecy News Watch (PNW) staff posted an excellent article on Nov. 8, 2025, that, among other things, says:

>For decades, peace in the Middle East was thought to be impossible without addressing the deep rift between Israel and her Arab neighbors. Yet under the Abraham Accords, barriers have fallen one by one. Bahrain, the UAE, Morocco, and Sudan have all entered into agreements with Israel, shifting regional alliances and reshaping global diplomacy.

>Now, the attention turns to Saudi Arabia. If Saudi Arabia signs on, it would be nothing short of historic — not only politically and economically, but spiritually. It would mark the most significant normalization between Israel and the Arab world since the founding of the modern Jewish state in 1948.

>The current peace deals are political, not prophetic. Yet, they represent something unprecedented: Israel, a nation once surrounded by sworn enemies, is now finding open doors in the very lands that once sought her destruction. And now, we are watching as one Muslim nation after another edges closer to formal peace.

>If a day comes when Israel enters a sweeping, all-encompassing treaty with “many” nations — particularly if that agreement includes time-bound commitments or global oversight — prophecy-minded believers will take notice. That may be the beginning of Daniel’s seventieth week, the final countdown before Christ’s return. This leaves us watching carefully. Not panicking, not speculating wildly, but staying spiritually alert.

>We’re living in extraordinary times — times when headlines and Scripture seem to intertwine more closely than ever before.

>Kazakhstan’s entry into the Abraham Accords is not just a diplomatic headline. It’s a reminder that the world is moving — swiftly, quietly — toward something larger. As more nations line up, as Saudi Arabia weighs its next move, and as global leaders talk about “peace in our time,” we would be wise to keep our hearts grounded in the Word of God.

>The Abraham Accords may not be the final covenant foretold in Daniel — but they may be the prelude to something much bigger. Whether we are witnessing history’s greatest peace initiative or the quiet setup for the events of Revelation, one thing is certain: God’s hand is still moving in the nations.

The above is just some of what the article said. Here is a link to the entire article:

https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=9087

(More: On Nov. 9, 2025, it was reported that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman will visit the White House next week for talks with Pres. Trump, and it could open the path for Saudi Arabia to agree to the Abraham Accords. But to do that, Bin Salman is requiring that Israel agrees to move forward with the Two-State Solution.)

(FYI: According to the Bible, the Two-State Solution will move the world toward the Battle of Armageddon. Gaza is part of the land that God promised to Israel, and He has warned the world not to divide it. He knows what Kushner, Witkoff, and Bin Salmon are trying to do. He knew what they would try to do before they were born. He does not go back on His promises. With God, a promise made is a promise kept, and a warning from heaven should not be ignored.)

Three, concerning deceit: on Nov. 6, 2025, Amy Mek, an investigative reporter for the RAIR Foundation USA, suggested that,

Muslims are turning “Freedom of Religion” against America.
Instead of using “Freedom of Religion” to protect Americans’ private religious beliefs, Muslims are using it to establish a foreign political system in America (Sharia laws that seek to control what people believe).
Islam is a political system disguised as a religion.
The U.S. Constitution protects faith in America, not Islamic foreign conquest of America.

(My opinion: This is leading to division in America, the decline of America, and ultimately the persecution of non-Muslims in America.)

Four, concerning the empowerment of Islam in America: on Nov. 9, 2025, the RAIR Foundation said, “This week, terror-linked Islamic organizations are celebrating a stunning milestone: a record forty-two Muslim candidates elected to public office across the United States, the most significant wave of Muslim political victories in American history.”

(FYI: A few weeks ago, a high-ranking Muslim said, “We have 4,000 mosques in the country…. If each mosque funds five students in journalism, filmmaking, political science, and law… by 2050, we will have 100,000 of each — and we will run for office at all levels of government” (in the U.S.)

Five, concerning the Holy Spirit drawing the Jews back to Israel at the end of the age: on Nov. 8, 2025, a reader sent an article to me that says Israel Channel 14 is reporting that:

More than 590 Jewish companies from New York have declared their intent to move to Israel.
A Jewish agency is already working on preparations for the relocation of up to 1,500,000 Jews from the city and surrounding suburbs.

(My comment: I am not familiar with the source of this report, but if this is true, it will be a major fulfillment of God’s Word, evidence that God can bring good out of all things, and a major blow to New York City for electing Mamdani.)

(More: On Nov. 10, 2025, an investigative reporter said leaked documents prepared by a group called the Democratic Socialists of America spell out a plan to pressure Mamdani to push an anti-Israel agenda in New York City.)

Six, concerning an increase in the frequency and intensity of natural disasters at the end of the age: on Nov. 6, 2025, it was reported that Typhoon Kalmaegi killed 114 people in the Philippines (the deadliest disaster to hit there), left 127 missing, and it is now battering Vietnam with 24 inches of rain, gusts up to 137 mph, 10-foot waves.

537,000 people have been evacuated, mostly by boat, and about 2 million people have been impacted. The damage is extensive, and many are without electricity.

(Update: As of Nov. 8, 2025, it has been confirmed that more than 200 were killed by Kalmaegi in the Philippines.)

(More: On Nov. 8, 2025, it was reported that a second typhoon will strike the Philippines on Nov. 9-10, 2025.)

Seven, concerning Iran and the possibility that God’s judgment is falling on Iran for its never-ending attempts to destroy Israel: on Nov. 8, 2025, it was reported that:

President Masoud Pezeshkian warned that Iran’s capital, Tehran, might have to be evacuated if there are no rains in the next two months.
He said, “If it doesn’t rain, we will have to start restricting water supplies in Tehran next month. If the drought continues, we will run out of water and be forced to evacuate the city.”
He called the situation “extremely critical,” and cited reports that Tehran’s dam reservoirs have fallen to their lowest level in 60 years.
According to the director of the Tehran Water Company, the largest water reservoir serving the capital currently holds 14 million cubic meters, compared to 86 million at the same time last year.
Latyan Dam, another key reservoir, is only about nine percent full. “Latyan’s water storage is just nine million cubic meters,” Deputy Energy Minister Mohammad Javanbakht said recently, calling the situation “critical.”

(FYI: The Bible says God will send an angel to dry up the Euphrates River to make way for the Kings of the East to enter the Middle East; Rev. 16:12.)

(FYI: Some think Iran’s water shortage could cause Iran to covet Israel’s desalination technology.)

Eight, on Nov. 7, 2025, it was reported that Turkey has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and 36 other Israeli officials.

Most prophecy teachers believe Turkey will join Russia, Iran, and several Islamic allies in an attack on Israel (called the Battle of Gog of Magog) in the latter years and latter days (Ezek. 38-39).

(Update: On Nov. 9, 2025, Israel’s Defense Min. said the real genocide is Turkey’s massacre of the Kurds.)

(More: Turkey wants to join Pres. Trump’s International Stabilization Force in the Gaza Strip. But because of Turkey’s animosity toward Israel, on Nov. 9, 2025, an Israeli spokesperson said Israel will not agree to the deployment of Turkish soldiers in the Gaza Strip, and Israel is opposed to Turkish involvement in the reconstruction of Gaza. Netanyahu said Israel will not allow Turkish boots on the ground in the Gaza Strip.)

Nine, concerning wars and rumors of wars at the end of the age (and possibly implications for the Battle of Gog of Magog): on Nov. 9, 2025, the New York Times reported that:

Another outbreak of war between Israel and Iranis only a matter of time.
Negotiations (with Iran) appear to be dead, and Iran’s claims that its 11 nuclear weaponsare either buried or under rubble are not convincing to Israel.
With no negotiations underway, no certainty on Iran’s stockpile, and no nuclear oversight, another Israeli attack is almost inevitable.
An Iranian official said Iran is likely to respond to an attack from Israel in a less restrained way than it did in June.

Ten, concerning Pres. Trump’s 20-Point Peace Plan and peace in the Middle East: on Nov. 11, 2025, PA Pres. Mahmoud Abbas will visit French Pres. Macron to discuss a full implementation of a ceasefire, and peace and safety in the Middle East.

Macron (who has already recognized the creation of a Palestinian State) said that reforming the P.A. is “an essential condition for the lasting return of stability and the emergence of a viable, democratic and sovereign Palestinian state living in peace and security alongside Israel.”

“Peace and security” can also be translated “peace and safety.”

(Update: Hamas agreed to return all the bodies of the hostages in Phase I of Trump’s 20-Point Peace plan, but it has still not returned 4 of the bodies.)

(Update: Hamas said it will return the body of another hostage at 8 p.m. Gaza time on Nov. 13, 2025. Israel believes Hamas knows where the remains of the other 3 are.)

Eleven, concerning wars and rumors of wars at the end of the age: on Nov. 7, 2025, U.S. Sec. of the Dept. of War, Pete Hegseth, stated that the U.S. is placing the U.S. acquisition system on a wartime footing.

He believes it is taking the Pentagon bureaucracy and America’s industrial base too long to act and prepare for war in this modern world.

He wants to speed up the process for purchasing and building weapons and equipment, and shorten the time to prepare for war if needed.

Twelve, concerning wickedness and violence (days of Noah) at the end of the age: it was recently reported that:

FBI Director Kash Patel admitted that there are now “110,000 gang members”living in Chicago.
They outnumber the police by about a 10 to 1 margin, and there are many neighborhoods that are simply not safe for anyone to go into at night.

Thirteen, concerning a falling away in the church at the end of the age: on Nov. 12, 2025, the Prophecy News Watch staff reported that:

A shocking ceremony in Berlin has once again exposed the moral collapse of the modern church. A so-called pastor — a 33-year-old youth minister named Lena Müller — stood outside a Protestant church and blessed the “marriage” of four men to each other. Yes, four. Two Latvians, a Thai citizen, and a Spaniard stood hand in hand as Müller pronounced them “married in the eyes of God.”
When the church ceases to stand on Scripture, it doesn’t simply drift off course — it sinks into the depths of moral confusion. If we allow the redefinition of marriage to include four men, why not five? Why not ten? If “love” is the only standard, where does it end? Why not bless polygamy, or polyamory, or whatever new permutation fallen humanity dreams up next?
When the church ceases to define sin, society will define it for us. And society has made its verdict clear: feelings are god, and truth is hate speech.

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.

5 Characteristics of the Endtime Modern Pagan, Pt 1 :: By Wilfred Hahn

Published on: November 15, 2025 by RR10

Paleontologists speak of Neanderthal Man, Australopithecus, and many other pre-human forms that were supposedly forbearers to we modern-day Homo sapiens. All of this allegedly happened many millions of years ago.

Of course, removed from literal Biblical interpretation, we know that this whole field of study remains highly imaginative and speculative. There is now already a long legacy of the Bible having trumped scientific skepticism on many issues, whether historical, scientific, or otherwise.

All of the Bible has proven to be true, except what remains unfulfilled … or remains to be scientifically discovered or proven. As all that has already been fulfilled or discovered has proven to be 100% accurate, it takes only a small leap of faith to acknowledge that the rest of the Bible that science still argues with will also prove to be correct. That truism applies to science, thus also to the theory of evolution.

With respect to physical evolution, the Bible doesn’t mention any different species of humans, sub-humans, or any developmental, biological stages of mankind. As it happens, there simply isn’t any proof for the theory of evolution. It remains a religion. Nor is there any difference between ancient humanity and that of today. Man’s basic characteristics, both physical and temperamental, have not changed one iota.

With respect to humans, the Bible only makes one major racial distinction—that between Jew and Gentile. Even more importantly, the Bible makes one other distinction between humans—between the pagan and the righteous. It’s here that we see the real evidence for evolution, although a spiritual version—paganism.

That’s the launch point for our study. Virtually all anthropologists agree that today, the earth’s sphere is populated by the so-called modern man and woman. In contrast, Bible prophecy speaks of the Modern Pagan Man of the Endtimes. Today, he is the fittest creature found inhabiting and dominating the earth’s new economic sphere.

Finding Ancient Pagan Man

To discover the Modern Pagan Man, let’s first examine the character and behaviors of the ancient pagan. The Bible offers a detailed description. However, to get a balanced and accurate picture, we need to do a brief word study.

There is no specific word in the Bible for pagan. In fact, you will not even be able to find the word “pagan” in some Bible translations (for example, the KJV, ISV, ASV, and others). Why? Because it is a word meaning understood today that originated only later in New Testament times.

Today, we commonly take the word “pagan” to mean a heathen person who worships other gods or idols and is outside the Christian or Jewish faith. In Biblical times, a heathen was also a Gentile (though there were believers in God who were not Hebrew). Before Christ died for the sins of all and extended salvation to the Gentile, the Gentile and heathen were essentially one and the same. At the beginning of the New Testament era, most Jews still considered their newfound salvation through the Messiah as a progressive fulfillment of the existing Jewish faith (the religious world had not yet definably split into Jews and so-called Christians).

It took a little while before it was broadly recognized that there were Christian Gentiles who were neither heathen nor Jewish. Therefore, at the start of the Church Age, only one Greek word was still used to describe both Gentile and heathen: “ethnos.”

This Greek word “ethnos” appears 167 times in the New Testament. The point of this is that in our study of the “evolutionary” pagan, we will look only to those verses of the New Testament where the word “ethnos” is clearly in the context of the newer sense of the word—a heathen.

A study of the Bible reveals many common characteristics of the “pagan.” We will only review five of these. All of them are directly linked to the evolution of our materialistic Modern Pagan Man.

Self-Interest

“If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?” (Matthew 5:46-47). In these verses, Jesus makes the point that the “pagan” person operates purely out of self-interest. Their actions are motivated by their own wants and pleasures: the personal pursuit of happiness and comfort. They only love those that love them, and revile those that likewise repudiate them.

Today, some 2,000 years later, this pagan characteristic of self-interest has greatly evolved and is now held up as the very force that is leading the world to betterment, continued progress and prosperity.

In fact, supposedly advanced economic theories hold this impulse of “self-interest” in high esteem, representing a rapid transition having taken place in basically less than a few hundred years. It is a foundational tenant of market-based capitalism, the term used for today’s type of commerce (which, by the way, actually has little to do with capitalism in its original sense).

The main result is that the entire world has become deeply commercialized. Increasingly today, the prime reason for existence is commerce itself.

What does the Bible say about the “self-interests” of the Modern Pagan Man? It provides a clear message for societies that choose to define their existence in purely pagan terms … in other words, societies that have given themselves over to the rule of economics and Mammon.

The examples of Tyre and Babylon are fitting ones. Neo-Babylon (in the era of Nebuchadnezzar) was all about business. According to studies, Babylonia was essentially a commercial civilization. Virtually all of the documents that have survived from this culture are business documents. Another prime example is the history of Tyre, the extreme commercialization of which the Bible itself provides clear documentation of.

The city of Jericho may be another and even earlier example. Probably the most ancient habitation in the world and one of the most prosperous, it was the city selected by God to be the first to be conquered by the Hebrews as they entered Canaan. In fact, this city was the only one that was miraculously destroyed and the only Canaan conquest that was completely annihilated—women, children, livestock and all. God wanted it completely expunged. Why?

Could it have reeked of generations of idolatrous commercialism? God didn’t want any of Jericho’s culture to rub off on Israel. Joshua even prophesied that whoever would attempt to resurrect this city of Jericho would suffer the loss of his first and second born (Joshua 6:26). Exactly as prophesied, this occurred six hundred years later during the reign of Omri, when Hiel of Bethel did so (1 Kings 16:34).

Worry About Material Things

Pagans are totally consumed with material things, according to Scripture. “So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them” (Matthew 6:31-32; cf. Luke 12:29-30). By this definition, then, it would be pagan to only preoccupy oneself with the pursuit of possessions and lifestyle.

Scripture refers here to only two items—food and clothing. In the society of that day, both things defined lifestyle as well as the necessities of life. This verse is therefore not just referring to mere subsistence. Clothing and food both have a necessary function. To attribute any other value to them is idolatrous and pagan.

Of course, in the modern age, lifestyle is defined by many more things than just food and clothes. To be sure, there are premium brands in clothing, top designer names, the latest accoutrements. The same is still true for some foods. The finest wines are sought; the food brands that are the most effectively advertised are the ones that people may strive to buy.

Mostly today, lifestyles are defined by other baubles such as expensive Swiss watches, luxury cars, the latest gadgets, spacious, palatial homes, and much else. To have them all is the epitome of the successful life, the trappings of elite existence. That’s the implicit goal and value of a society of pagans. “Running after these things” is today part of a highly sophisticated culture of branding, consumer surveys, advertising, and psychological research.

In this sense, there has been much change over the centuries and millennia. Here again, we see the evolution of the Modern Pagan Man. Viewing the massively endemic commercialization of America and other nations, it is hard to imagine how much more materialism could yet lie ahead.

In the next part, we review the remaining three characteristics of the Endtime Pagan Man.
