RACING TOWARD A CLIMACTIC CONCLUSION

Apostasy and Doctrines of Demons

Cynthia Erivo’s ‘demonic’ portrayal of Jesus prompts outrage: ‘Intentional blasphemy.’ ‘This isn’t art; it’s evil.’ The controversial production, “Jesus Christ Superstar,” at the Hollywood Bowl featured bisexual actress Cynthia Erivo as Jesus. It also starred openly gay singer Adam Lambert as Judas. Erivo’s long, talon-like nails evoked imagery associated with demons, also the deliberately bald Erivo’s resemblance to Nosferatu, a vampire made famous in the 1922 silent German horror film of the same name.

Ex-psychic warns Christians of ‘spiritual dangers,’ demonic influence of ‘The Telepathy Tapes.’
“The Telepathy Tapes,” a hit podcast and developing documentary project, has gained a massive following due to its claims that non-verbal autistic children are capable of telepathic communication. But, according to a former psychic-turned-evangelist, the concept carries serious spiritual dangers, especially for Christians.

Growing Trend: FRC’s ‘Hostility Against Churches’ Report Documents Hundreds of Attacks on US Churches In 2024. Over 400 hostile incidents were committed against American churches in 2024, a report by the Family Research Council found. “This report clearly shows religious freedom faces substantial threats here at home.”

UK Guardian News Scolds Christians For ‘Illegally’ Evangelizing to Isolated People Groups. The newspaper published an “exposé” piece titled “Missionaries using secret audio devices to evangelize Brazil’s isolated peoples… despite strict laws protecting Indigenous groups.” But as everyone knows, Christians have been sharing the gospel, regardless of government mandates, as long as there have been Christians. Christians must obey God rather than man; God instructs Christians to go into all the world and preach the gospel to everyone.

Hatred of Jews and Israel

Biblical, Moral, and Strategic: A Party Divided, Especially Over Israel, Cannot Stand. Genesis 12:3 is more than a verse; it’s a promise. Those who bless Israel will be blessed. As Europe drifts under the weight of Islamic migration and appeasement, Israel remains our most reliable ally in the Middle East. The Republican Party’s future and the moral clarity of America’s leadership depend on remaining resolute in our support for Israel. Not out of sentimentality, but because it’s right biblically, morally, and strategically.

Pervasive Perversion

Minneapolis hosts ‘Trans Equity Summit’ at University of Minnesota once again, a full-day celebration of transgenderism.

New ‘gender-neutral’ bathroom angers parents at Virginia high school. Parents in southwestern Virginia are alarmed that renovations to Christiansburg High School included a “gender-neutral” bathroom in which boys and girls will be forced to share space.

The Abortion Abomination

God says, “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee…” (Jeremiah 1:5).

“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them” (Psalm 139:13-16).

Fetal Development Week by Week: Milestones, Tests, What to Expect (with images). From the moment sperm meets egg to those final weeks before the baby is born, a lot is happening that you can’t see, but it’s absolutely fascinating. Let’s walk through it all, the science, the stages, and what’s happening inside your body every single week.

Last Days Traitors

Where the Nazis Failed, America’s Largest Teachers’ Union Now Aims to Succeed. The National Education Association (NEA), which represents nearly three million public school teachers, just released a new handbook instructing teachers to no longer tell their classes that Jews were the primary target of the Holocaust. Instead, they’re now supposed to say the Nazis killed “millions of victims of different faiths.” The NEA seeks to sever this link between the Holocaust and Jews.

Their Deliberate Border Disorder and Its Consequences

England: Bournemouth swamped by immigrants; crime skyrocketing all at taxpayers’ expense. Crime statistics show a significant increase in violent, sexual, and public order offenses in Bournemouth, with a 276% increase in rape cases between 2014-2025, making the town a borderline no-go zone, especially for women. These crimes are being committed by foreigners, some of whom live in London and travel to Bournemouth to find their victims. Others have been shipped there to be settled as asylum seekers at a significant cost to taxpayers.

Iniquity Shall Abound

Manipulated statistics, high murder rate: 5 things to know about federal takeover of DC. President Trump announced that he’s activating the National Guard in the nation’s capital and the federal government will take control of Washington’s Metropolitan Police Dept (MPD)to  deal with crime. He contends the moves are necessary due to the city’s crime statistics to help “re-establish law, order, and public safety.” Dem leaders deny there’s a problem. The first of 5 things to know is 1) The DC Police Union, the MPD “is deliberately falsifying crime data, creating a false narrative of reduced crime while communities suffer,” to “evade public scrutiny.”

Plague, Pestilence, and Plandemics

Eco Loons Suggest Proliferating a Plague of Ticks to Prevent People from Eating Meat. The Lone Star Tick’s bite can lead to medical problems, including allergy to red meat, and it could kill you. Promoting these ghastly ticks (already increasing in numbers in large areas of the US) is said to: “prevent the world from becoming a significantly worse place… doesn’t violate anyone’s rights… promotes virtuous action or character.” How stupid can academics be?

Mosquito-borne virus has led to widespread outbreak in China; could it show up in the U.S.? The U.S. CDC just issued a Level 2 alert for an outbreak of chikungunya virus in Guangdong Province, where over 7,000 cases have been reported. Cases are also spreading throughout Europe. Dr. Paul Sax, infectious disease expert, said a U.S. outbreak is unlikely…. It is mainly Americans who have recently traveled to highly endemic areas of the world who could potentially contract chikungunya, then spread it to others. “So, it’s very unlikely to have a big outbreak, but if we were – it’s most likely to occur in places like Florida, Louisiana, and Texas” [in tropical areas], Sax said.

And the Depopulation Agenda

Dr. Jack King’s New Book On Doctor-Assisted Suicide – Part Six. “Killing of the elderly and middle-aged will be done to save the cost of caring for them and the cost of providing them with pensions. But killing of the young (particularly teens and young adults) will largely be done to take their organs.”—Dr. Jack King

Economic and Food Insecurity

Death of the Small Farm Is the Death of Rural America. Modern farming is destroying small communities as we move more toward the “go big or go home” model—thousands of acres of the same monocrop, managed by one or two people on a tractor spraying chemicals. What used to be 20 or 30 small farms—each with a household and family that supported the local restaurant, gas station, feed store, and the veterinarian who served a few counties—is now replaced by a single sprawling operation with no animals, no neighbors, and no community.

Weather Events

Deadly Flooding Strikes Chattanooga After Record-Breaking Rains. Another U.S. city has been hit with historic flooding. Chattanooga, Tennessee, has been hit with historic floods after flash flooding hit the city on Tuesday. As of Thursday, four people have been reported dead due to the floods, with dozens more still unaccounted for.

Hurricane Erin rapidly strengthens to Category 5 storm near the Caribbean. The storm is not currently forecast to hit land, but its strong winds are impacting nearby islands, prompting warnings of possible flooding and landslides.

Over 160 killed in deadly monsoon floods and landslides across Pakistan. Heavy monsoon rains triggered devastating floods and landslides across Pakistan on August 15, killing over 160 people and destroying critical infrastructure.

India: At least 60 dead, over 250 missing after severe flash floods in Kishtwar, Jammu and Kashmir. A massive cloudburst struck Chosoti village in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kishtwar district on August 14, killing at least 60 people, injuring over 300, and leaving over 250 others missing.

Wildfires sweep Portugal, Spain, & Greece. Apocalyptic scenes have spread across Europe as dramatic wildfires bathe the countryside sickly orange.

Major incident declared as wildfire advances through unexploded ordnance zone near RAF Fylingdales, North Yorkshire. A wildfire burning on Langdale Moor has been declared a major incident after spreading across approximately 5 km2 (1.93 mi2) of moorland since igniting on August 11. The declaration was triggered by the fire’s rapid growth, the presence of unexploded ordnance, and the scale of inter-agency response required.

Wars and Rumors of Wars

Iran says direct nuclear talks with US possible under suitable conditions, Iran’s First Vice President Mohammad Aref said. But he said US demands for Iran to drop uranium enrichment entirely were “a joke.”

Netanyahu to Iranians – ‘Rise for freedom, and we’ll help rebuild your future.’ In a powerful message of solidarity and hope, Netanyahu urges the Iranian people to rise against their oppressive regime, promising that a free Iran can flourish with abundant water, freedom, and a brighter future—“If you will it, a free Iran is no dream.”

Netanyahu: If we had a starvation policy, everyone would be dead. “Israel has no starvation policy,” he declared. “It had and has a policy to separate civilians from combatants…. We have sent millions of text messages, phone calls. This has never happened before in a war that the army fighting terrorists in an urban environment calls on civilians to leave, and the enemy shoots them if they try. Then Israel is blamed… – that’s ridiculous.” [Hamas also shoots those trying to get food to the people; Hamas hoards the food and charges high prices. That’s because they only care about having weapons with which to destroy Israel.] Netanyahu said “the only deliberate starvation policy we see in Gaza is starving of our hostages,” who are emaciated.

Israel’s security cabinet approved a plan to take over Gaza City in a major escalation of its war against Hamas, with the risky move expected to take place in phases. The first phase of the operation would involve evacuation of Gaza City and an expansion of aid distribution. The deadline for ‘Palestinians’ to flee the major city would reportedly be Oct. 7, the anniversary of Hamas’ depraved attack that killed 1,200 Israelis and led to the kidnapping of 250 more.

The Two-State Delusion

DNC to vote on resolutions recognizing two-state solution, Palestinian statehood . Democrat Majority for Israel said it’s “deeply troubled” that a “flawed, irresponsible resolution” was introduced at a meeting “that will further sow division within our party.” The Democrat National Committee plans to vote later this month on competing resolutions about the party’s position on Israel & the ‘Palestinians.’ The first resolution, introduced by deputy executive director at the Florida-based Youth Action Fund, calls for the Democrat Party to support an arms embargo on Israel & for members of Congress to recognize “Palestine” as a state.

‘A two-state solution means our end,’ says Israel’s FM . “A Palestinian state in the heart of Israel would indeed be a solution—for those who seek to eliminate us,” Gideon Sa’ar said. If large countries like France and Canada want to establish a Palestinian state in their territory, they can—they have enough territory. But here in the Land of Israel, it will not happen,” he said.

ENDTIMES CONVERGENCE EMERGENCE

Apostasy and Doctrines of Demons

First, some good news: Who said Gen Z is walking away from faith? They loudly want Jesus. Gen Z isn’t quietly walking away from faith. They’re running toward Jesus — and they’re louder than ever. Across the country, young people are gathering in unexpected places, driven by a hunger for truth, purpose, and the power of Jesus to change everything.

 Young Men Are Rising Up. Across the country, something surprising is happening in churches: rows of young men in their twenties are showing up — and leaning in. These aren’t cultural Christians going through the motions. They’re hungry — for truth, structure, and purpose in a world increasingly hostile to all three. As one church leader put it, these men are “faithful, spiritually hungry, and interested in cultivating a deep, personal faith.”

Hatred of Jews and Israel

Baltimore, Maryland Schools Investigated After Jewish Students Targeted, Teacher Threatens to ‘Go All Nazi.’ There are allegations of widespread antisemitic harassment, including students shouting, “all Jews should die.”

The Media Front in the War Against Civilization. Western media outlets have been publishing images purporting to be of starving Gazans but are actually staged and manipulated by Hamas as part of its propaganda offensive to blacken Israel’s name around the world. Pictures of skeletal Gazan children allegedly being starved by Israel were actually children with terrible congenital diseases. There’s zero evidence of Israel deliberately starving Gazans because that claim is a lie. The only people actually being starved to death are the Israeli hostages (see first link under Evils of Islam).

Staged Suffering? German Investigation Exposes Hamas’s Photo Propaganda Machine

New York Times, NPR Among Media Outlets Caught Using Hamas-Approved, Staged Gaza Images.

Evils of Islam

Holocaust survivors: Latest hostage videos recall Jews’ condition 80 years ago under the Nazis. Bodies painfully thin, eyes terrified and vacant, faces marked by despair and hopelessness.

Muslim Rape Gangs: Most sustained and complete race-based crime in British history. The mass rape of children by “grooming gangs” has been ongoing for decades, with tens of thousands of victims; yet, no significant action has been taken against those responsible. Instead, it’s been met with denial, deflection, and trivialization.

Pervasive Perversion

New York City Opened Nation’s First Trans-Only Homeless Shelter. Cost Taxpayers $65 Million. Opponents are calling it yet another example of “progressive political theater.”

Canada offering 12 months of income to LGBT ‘refugees.’ Canada’s Liberal government is giving a year’s worth of taxpayer-funded income and settlement support to LGBT ‘refugees’ through a government-assisted program.

And the Abortion Abomination

Northern Virginia School District Probes Allegations of Staff Arranging Student Abortions Behind Parents’ Backs. Fairfax County Public Schools is investigating allegations that school officials arranged and funded abortions for two students in 2021 without informing their parents.

Drug Epidemic

US Military Authorized to Target Latin American Drug Cartels. A presidential decree makes it possible for the US military to carry out offensive operations at sea and on foreign soil against the cartels. Officials within the military have begun to develop alternatives for how the military could proceed. This does not mean there will be an invasion of Mexico.

Last Days Traitors (calling good evil)

Moms For Liberty Called  ‘Hate Group’ In Massachusetts Police Trainings alongside Antifa and neo-Nazis. Moms for Liberty fights for parental rights in schools across the country. It was formed in 2021 while parents were fighting to reopen schools after the pandemic, and while they were being exposed to inappropriate and often sexually explicit material taught in their children’s classrooms.

Iniquity Shall Abound

Army sergeant in custody after 5 soldiers shot at Fort Stewart; motive remains unknown. A U.S. Army sergeant opened fire at the Fort Stewart military base in Georgia on Aug. 6, injuring five of his colleagues before he was subdued by fellow soldiers and taken into custody. The injured soldiers are currently in stable condition.

Officer killed in shooting outside CDC HQ in Atlanta by gunman who reportedly blamed COVID vaccine for illness. The suspect opened fire on at least four CDC buildings, then stormed into a building across the street that houses a CVS at Georgia’s Emory University. He was later found with a fatal gunshot wound. The heroic officer who was killed, David Rose, leaves behind his pregnant wife and two children. The gunman’s father had alerted law enforcement that his son was suicidal. He blamed the Covid vaccine for an illness that he had.

Weather Events

Monster Storms Cause Catastrophic Flooding: Hong Kong, India, South Korea, Taiwan, China. Record-breaking storms and floods just keep hitting again and again all over the world. During this past week, it’s Asia that has been really taking a beating.

10 dead, 33 missing after Yuzhong County, China, receives half a year’s rainfall in 24 hours, causing flash floods. Up to half the county’s average annual rainfall fell between August 7-8. Chinese President Xi Jinping urged local authorities to carry out full-scale rescue operations.

Record rainfall hits Kyushu, Japan, dropping nearly 500 mm (20 inches) of rain in just 12 hours on August 8. At least two people were hospitalized after a landslide triggered by heavy rain caused a house to collapse.

Severe flooding affects over 131,000 people in Myanmar, leaving 10 dead, triggered by intense monsoon rains since late July. 12 people are missing; 77 injured, and over 18,000 displaced.

Floods, cloudbursts, and other rain-related events have claimed at least 194 lives across Himachal Pradesh (in northern India) since onset of the monsoon in June. Around 1,738 houses have been fully or partially damaged; 55 flash floods and 48 major landslides reported so far.

Wildfires

Major wildfire burns over 13,000 ha (32,000 acres) in Aude, France, 1 dead; at least 9 injured, and forcing evacuations across multiple communes. Over 227,000 ha (560,900 acres) have burned across Europe so far in 2025, more than double the long-term average, with southern France experiencing conditions conducive to rapid, large-scale fires.

Wars and Rumors of War

Israeli gov’t orders IDF to ‘take control’ of entire Gaza Strip to disarm Hamas & return hostages. The Israeli Security Cabinet ordered the Israel Defense Forces to take control of the entire Gaza Strip, approving a plan supported by Prime Minister Netanyahu despite significant concerns from the military top leadership. The plan was approved after a Cabinet meeting Thursday evening.

Two-State Delusion

French Ambassador to Israel: ‘We Want Hamas Disarmed and Out of Governance.’ In a powerful interview aimed at calming tensions and reaffirming France’s stance, the French Ambassador to Israel said France does not support Hamas, and any future Palestinian state must exclude the terror group from power.

Conclusion

Gaza was given to the so-called Palestinians in 2005 in a land for peace bid. Look what happened. The so-called Palestinian leadership only wants the complete destruction of Israel. They don’t care what the cost is. They’re deranged minds are only focused on Israel’s destruction. Satan has hardened many hearts against Israel. But the Bible tells us that the world would be against Israel in the last days. It will lead to Armageddon (Joel 3).

The Convergence of End Times Signs. From Britt Gillette: The convergence of so many specific and detailed events – events Jesus told us to look for – should command the attention of even the most hardened skeptics….. Today, we see them all around us. For the first time ever, each of these signs is present. And at the same time! (See the article for more details.) Now is the season of His return.

Come, Lord Jesus!
