People throughout the world have been reporting the strange lights from the heavens for millennia. The ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, and most every other civilization and culture have recorded sightings that are unusual.

However, today, an increasing number of anomalous sightings is reported nearly every hour of every day. Many are recorded with and through the ever-improving technologies for catching the UFOs, now called “unidentified aerial phenomena” (UAPs).

The 1947 reports of a crashed extraterrestrial flying disc at Roswell, New Mexico, opened the modern world to setting the stage for what has come since. The movie industry has greatly expanded public awareness of and fascination with the things from “out there” somewhere.

From the 1952 film The Day the Earth Stood Still to the Star Trek TV series and movies and the Star Wars franchise of films, ET, and others, to all the recent US governmental probing into all things extraterrestrial, the strange things taking place in the heavens are front and center in the headlines today. Gary Ritter’s and my series of novels, beginning with The Rapture Dialogues (hope you will consider getting them on Amazon), is meant to lay out developments in past and coming stellar prophecy unfolding.

One such front-and-center report of things appearing in the skies is presented in the following:

The Mysterious Interstellar Object Appears to Be Pulsing in a “Heartbeat Pattern”

The pattern is repeating every 16 hours.

The mysterious interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is just weeks away from reaching its closest point to Earth: it’s expected to pass within just 170 million miles of our home planet on December 19, giving astronomers an unprecedented opportunity to take a closer look as it whizzes past.

As Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb points out in a new blog post, they’ll be building on intriguing existing observations from ground telescopes — including a paper published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics in October by a team of researchers in Europe and Africa that found signs that it’s radiating a “heartbeat” pulse of light that repeats every 16.16 hours.

While that may sound like an intriguing new fold in Loeb’s longstanding efforts to support the theory that the object could be an extraterrestrial spacecraft visiting the solar system, there’s likely a much more mundane explanation: that it’s spinning, pulsing us with light like an interstellar lighthouse.…

Though most scientists hold that the object is probably a natural comet, Loeb is still holding out hope that 3I/ATLAS’ jets could be technological in nature.

“For a technological object, the direction of the pulsing jet could be arbitrary and not necessarily pointing towards the Sun,” he wrote.

Regardless, getting a better sense of how these pulses change over time could shed more light on the matter. For one, its spin may have changed since it reached its perihelion, or closest point to the Sun, in late October.…

…in the published literature, Loeb wrote. “A movie showing the periodic brightening of the jets around 3I/ATLAS over several days can reveal whether the jets are natural or technological, based on the orientation of the heartbeat pattern relative to the Sun.” (“The Mysterious Interstellar Object Appears to Be Pulsing in a “Heartbeat Pattern,” Victor Tangermann, senior editor at Futurism, Rapture Ready News, December 2, 2025)

We recently looked at the following prophecy given by Jesus:

“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring” (Luke 21:25-28).

We previously dealt with the latter part of the prophecy– “nations in distress, with perplexity” and “the sea and the waves roaring.” We looked at all the rioting among the peoples of the US and other tumultuous cities of the planet, and at how the people seem to have been given over to the “reprobate mind” of Romans 1:28.

Now we examine the first part of Christ’s prophecy—”And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars” (Luke 21:25a).

Jesus said that as the time of His return to establish His millennial kingdom on earth nears, there would be unusual signs in the heavens.

With reports such as the one above and many others, even if just considering that we now have the technological capability to record them, the words of the Lord certainly ring true. There are indeed “signs in the sun, moon, and stars.”

Undoubtedly, we’ve only begun to see this particular signal of the coming Tribulation and the return of the King of Kings. Such signs will almost certainly increase in the days and nights just ahead.

As I’ve said on many occasions, I believe the reports of the strange sights in the skies are prophetic. They are the warnings Jesus gave. I believe they’re setting the stage for when the False Prophet (Revelation chapter 13) calls down fire from Heaven in the sight of the image of the Beast.

And the signals are for His Second Advent, which, of course, will follow the seven terrible years of Tribulation.

This all means the Rapture of believers from this fallen planet must be so near that we can almost reach out and touch it!

Jesus, again, said: “When you see all these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your head, for your redemption draws near” (Luke 21:28).

While one is inundated hour after hour, day after day, with the profusion of news from around the world, there is one profoundly important element missing in the reportage.

The troubles, the problems, the carnage, come at us in an avalanche of bad news. At the same time, proposals by governments and by top-flight individuals within the atmospherics of politics and governmental authority promise to solve the deluge of pending catastrophes –promises that never come to fruition.

The element that is left out of the reportage, of the promises, is deafening in its silence. As a matter of fact, this element is the very cause of the pending calamity that hangs above every nation on earth like that Damocles’ Sword of mythology. Except there is nothing mythological about the threat of cataclysm the world –that every nation of Planet Earth—resides under at this present moment.

The threat isn’t from the human dimension or even from the demonic. Here is the threat in a Heavenly Nutshell, without meaning to trivialize its Origin.

“He that rejected me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day” (John 12:48).

These are the Words of the One who is destined to Judge all the world. To ignore His Words is to invite Calamity beyond all imagination. His name, of course, is Jesus Christ, the Lord of all lords and the King of all kings.

Jesus is The Word (John 1:1).

Every Word Given in God’s Love Letter to mankind –the Holy Bible – was first Uttered in the Heaven of Eternity Past. Every Word in this Holy Volume is Truth that is in the far distant Reaches of Eternity Future.

The Author of this Word –of these Words—is the Creator of all that is. It is this Author who literally Holds the very matter that constitutes what He Created in place. Without Him, nothing could exist that exists.

Nothing, that is, except the evil that came with man’s rejection of God’s Order at the time of Eden.

This evil is the Cause for the catastrophe that hangs above Planet Earth. And we who Watch Prophetic stage-setting for Christ’s Judgment must forewarn all who participate in the rebellion first infused into mankind by the great deceiver –the father of lies—Lucifer the fallen –Satan.

Mankind’s ignoring Heaven’s Influence and Governance by not considering God’s Word –the Words of His Son Jesus –is in danger of Eternal Damnation.

That God’s Holy Word is ignored to this extent around the Globe today is in full display, as the following news item reports.

Nearly Half the World Restricts or Bans the Bible, Report Warns

An analysis by the organization Open Doors revealed that the Bible is banned or restricted in 88 of the world’s 195 countries, meaning that nearly half of all nations limit access to the Holy Scriptures. Among the most serious cases is China, where—despite its image of economic openness—state control, direct government intervention, and social surveillance mechanisms continue to persist.

Additionally, Cardinal Joseph Zen has called on the faithful to “return to the catacombs,” warning that in China, religious worship is not only strictly regulated but that there is also a state-authorized form of worship. The prelate discourages attending these official churches and urges believers to practice their faith freely, remaining “faithful to the truth that makes us free.”

While there are some in Congress who occasionally mention God’s Name or who read a snippet from the Bible, it is rare indeed to find any mention of God’s Word in proposals to fix what ails humanity within the U.S. or around the world.

It is particularly disconcerting to note the absence of mention of the Prince of Peace in all the talk of peace going on at present.

My hope is that this president of the United States lends his ear to those, such as Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee (who understands Bible prophecy and Foretelling involving Israel) when it comes to trying to come up with a peace plan to resolve the millennia-long conflict between God’s chosen people and the surrounding enemy peoples. But if such an ear is given in the Abraham Accords or other peace talks, we aren’t privy to such inside information.

And it is only a peace plan that does not include Israel giving into a 2-state solution that has a chance of success. It is dividing God’s land (the land given Abraham and his progeny through his son Isaac) that will bring all of the nations of earth to mankind’s final war, God’s Holy Word Foretells (Joel 3:2).

Thinking on the ignoring of God’s Word, there is a serious dearth of putting forth that Word within much of the Christian churches at present. Rarely in the pulpits of America is there a ringing declaration of Truth from Scripture laying out the wickedness of societies and cultures.

There is, however, an overabundance in too many cases of messaging about how to get along with environments surrounding everyday life. i.e., teaching how to not rock the proverbial boat, so as to not disrupt personal and/or church tranquility. –Teaching that ignores the primary Purpose of the church –of Christianity—that without adhering to God’s Word and Acceptance of Jesus Christ in all His Truth, the individual and the world are destined to Eternal destruction.

Jesus Christ will one Eternal Day be the Judge of all who reject His Word. We who name His Holy Name must proclaim Him now, while He Offers Salvation from the sin that Forever separates fallen mankind from the Heavenly Father.

Jesus said: “…I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me…” (John 14:6).

This is the one Statement by the Lord Jesus that must not be ignored. For to do such will bring the ultimate calamity down in the form of God’s Judgment and Wrath –either upon the individual or the nation that does the ignoring.

Here again is how to obey rather than ignore God’s Call, through His Son’s Sacrifice on the cross at Calvary for Redemption.

“That if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9-10).
