Spiritual Connections
Romans 1:25 – “They have exchanged the truth of God for falsehood, by worshipping and serving created things, rather than the Creator.”
Jude 1:4 – “Certain people . . . pervert the grace of Yahweh and deny Yeshua.”
2025 has again been a year of persecution and marginalization of Christians, Conservatives, Jews and Israel.
• 2025 has shown an increase in people’s hunger for the truth of Yahweh, Yeshua, the Bible, and even the Shroud of Turin.
• 2025 has shown an increase in dreams and visions, rapture dreams, and angelic beings coming with messages.
• 2025 has shown an increase around the world of salvations and people getting baptized even in persecuted countries.
• People are talking about how current and biblically supernatural events seem to be straight out of the Biblical Book of Revelation, wanting more information about these happenings.
• A local Orem, Utah Chick-fil-A publicly supported same-sex marriage – rebelling against Christian values – and the Chick-fil-A headquarters defended it – a departure from the chain’s longtime beliefs.
The Apostate Church
Many US churches are asleep on the poison of antisemitism.
• Fundamental tenets of the Christian faith are being increasingly challenged or reinterpreted, including issues surrounding salvation, the divinity of Yeshua, sexual ethics, gender identity, and the sanctity of life.
• Salvation through faith alone is replaced by social justice, often leading to a works-based salvation perspective, or by universalism, which also denies salvation as a gift for accepting Yeshua’s sacrifice.
• Yeshua has been changed from divinity to a personal or cultural preference, often described as “the Jesus of our own making.”
• Ecumenical churches in Switzerland are pushing the Swiss Government to legislate what people can and cannot do in their own homes on Sunday!
• A retired U.K. pastor is facing criminal charges for preaching a gospel sermon inside a protected abortion buffer zone in Northern Ireland.
• A female calling herself a pastor has claimed ot have married four men to each other.
• Religious Non-Governmental Organizations operating under Christian veneers have taken in millions of dollars which they have used to facilitate child trafficking.
The Vatican and The New Pope
1 Thessalonians 5:3 – “When they say peace and safety, peace and security, sudden destruction will come upon them.”
Pope Leo XIV is looking peace and safety, peace and security.
• The first words of the new Pope, Leo XIV, were “Peace be with all of you!”
• Pope Leo called for an end to conflict in the Middle East, particularly the conflict in Gaza.
• Pope Leo condemned the Israeli army’s attack on the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza.
• Pope Leo reaffirmed the position of the Vatican and Pope Francis; declaring that the only solution to the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian people is the Two-State solution.
Pope Leo XIV is also looking for the installation of a one world government.
• Pope Leo identifies AI as humanity’s critical challenge to labor, justice, and dignity.
• Pope Leo states we need to develop notions of global citizenship grounded in a courageous, deep commitment to equity and jettison notions of sharp divides.
• Pope Leo thinks sound politics can offer an effective service to harmony and peace both domestically and internationally by promoting the equitable distribution of resources.
• He says the responsibility of government and its leaders is to promote and protect, independent of any special interest, the good of the community, the common good.
Pope Leo XIV is also looking for the installation of a one world religion.
Daniel 7:25 – “He will attempt to alter the appointed occasions.”
• Pope Leo states the Catholic Church is to be a global community to weave threads of common humanity and diversity together, uniting in common good for all mankind to become a global citizen.
• Pope Leo has revealed he will push for a Sunday law that declares that Sunday must be honored as the sabbath.
Let us not forget that Yahweh has declared the seventh day as a day of rest, not the first day of the week. Yahweh didn’t rest up on the first day so he would have enough energy to work for six days. Ooohhhh no, he worked first, then rested!
And let us also not forget that the Sabbath is also one of the Moedim commanded by Yahweh.
Violent Outbreaks
2025 has shown an increase in unexplained and irrational violence, hate, lawlessness, and crimes against children.
• Mass shootings are escalating, especially in schools and the workplace.
• Wars, rumors of wars, and global unrest have increased exponentially.
• A professor at MIT was murdered in his home just 50 miles from the Brown University shooting, allegedly by the same shooter.
• Sydney Australia’s Bondi Beach terror attack at a Jewish community Chanukah event killed 16 and wounded 40 more. Australian authorities are investigating links to the Islamic State terror group.

In other places in India, Hindu extremists storm churches, attack worshippers, and beat believers with iron rods.
• In Nigeria, Christians have been slaughtered by the thousands.
• In China in Yayang Town, the Chinese Communist Party sent over one thousand police officers to raid churches and make arrests of Christians, taking hundreds away for questioning.
• “Belongings of relevant individuals were illegally confiscated, roads leading to the church were completely blocked by police, and Christians in Yayang Town were unable to enter the Yayang church
• Forty-four French Jewish teenagers were removed from a European flight, allegedly for the crime of speaking Hebrew. Was this a consequence of the covid shots, Trump Derangement Syndrome, or just a turning away from Yahweh and the Biblical teachings?
Nations and Their Machinations
Zechariah 12:2-3 – “I will make Jerusalem a cup that will stagger the surrounding peoples. The siege of Jerusalem will also be against Judah. I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the peoples. All who try to lift that burdensome stone will be cut in pieces, though all the earth’s nations will be assembled against her. “ [bold mine]
Jeremiah 31:5 – “Again you shall plant vineyards on the hills of Samaria; those doing the planting will enjoy its fruit.”
Jeremiah 31:22 – “Judah and all its cities shall dwell there together, farmers and those who wander with their flocks.”
Israel and Jerusalem continue to be that burdensome stone upon which all the eyes of the world are focused.
• Israel will be at war 836 days by January 20, 2026
• Israel must “ensure” Iran doesn’t restart its nuclear program, says Mossad chief David Barnea.

Artificial Intelligence Connections
Daniel 12:4 – “But you, Daniel, keep these words secret, and seal up the book until the time of the end. Many will rush here and there and knowledge will increase.”
Artificial Intelligence is growing at a exponentially rapid rate.
• Governments are constructing massive AI data centers to accumulate and keep all the information collected.
• Reliance on AI is growing in all sectors, even by pastors, rabbis, and church leaders who use it to write their sermons!
• Lawyers and attorneys are using AI to write their legal briefs and arguments.
• An AI tool called Centaur is said to accurately predict what a human will do next. Can we say Minority Report?
Go Teens!
Matthew 21:16 – “From the mouths of children and infants you have prepared praise . . .”
2 John 1:4 – “I rejoiced greatly because I have found some of your children living according to the truth.”
3 John 1:4 – “I have no greater joy than this: to hear that my children are living according to the truth.”
• A News Literacy Project survey states that “84% of surveyed teens have a negative view of the media” The teens, it seems, are taking the same attitude like adults, that the mainstream news media cannot be trusted and want truth in reporting, not propaganda. The words they used to decribe the media incuded: Bad, Biased, Boring, Chaotic, Compromised, Crazy, Deceptive, Depressing, Fake, False, Lies, Misleading, Scary, Untrustworthy, and Wild.
Sinful Cities
2 Timothy 3:13 – “But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.”
• World Net Daily asks “Do you have the honor of living in one of America’s 10 “most sinful cities”?” and gives the answer “If you’re a resident of Denver, Las Vegas, Houston, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Miami, Dallas, Phoenix and New Orleans, you do.”
End Of The Age Trends
Israel is back home in its historical land.
— Third Temple plans and construction will continue, and implementation will eventually take place.
— Hatred for Yahweh, Yeshua, and the Bible will get both more personal, and more universal.
— Advanced technology is in place, ready for the One World systems to be set in motion.
— There will be continued great increases in knowledge: not only general knowledge, but also artificial knowledge.
— Deceptions will get more believable, more deceiving, and harder to discern, recognize, or identify.
— Tracking will get more complete and predictive policing will increase.
Conclusions
Joel 3:14 – “Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of Yahweh is near in the valley of decision.”
Zephaniah 1:14 – “The great day of Yahweh is near, it is near, and hastens greatly.”
The world is changing and changes are happening so fast that one can’t keep up. Daily newspapers and online websites that track world news give hour by hour and even minute by minute updates.
Antisemitism is on the rise at national, worldwide, and spiritual levels – and the resulting calamities upon those who engage in those actions is enormous. Yahweh is getting ready to end man’s administration and place Yeshua on the throne in Jerusalem. As the final days begin to coalesce, one must ask the question: “How close are we to the resurrection of the dead in Yeshua, the rapture, and the beginning of the seven years of the Tribulation Period?”
Final Thought for 2026
• The season of the birth pains is here – keep maintaining an attitude of gratitude.
• The prophetic signs continue to unfold in an escalating pattern as foretold by the Hebrew prophets.
• History is moving extremely quickly towards the one world government, financial system, and religion.
• Time is incredibly short – Yeshua Ha’Mashiach is coming soon – so be of great cheer and keep looking up.
• Be sure you are believing The Truth, not The Lie – get busy reaching the lost.
• Be sure Yeshua is your Redeemer, King, and High Priest, and your sins are forgiven.
