What’s a moment when you realized you were officially an adult?
There’s a part of you that never grew up. There’s a part of you that will always be that young person that you once were. So, I can’t say it was exactly the day before yesterday, but I can say that I’m 62 years old, and my body does not operate like an like a child anymore.
People who say they don’t like children are people who’ve forgotten what it’s like to be a child. But as long as you remember that part of you that loved being a kid, that part is still there. And that part refuses to become an adult.
I often find it very amusing, when you ask someone how old they are, they will tell you the number of birthdays they’ve had. But the truth of the matter is, your body was once designed to live forever. Regardless of how old you are right now, your true age is in fact 11, right now. Your body is rejuvenating every cell. And the one part that takes the longest to rejuvenate is the human skeleton. It takes 11 years to replace every cell in your skeleton. So the oldest part about you in reality is 11 years old. But one day we will get that body again, that we have when we were young, and it will last us for an eternity and I’m certainly looking forward to that.
As The Death Toll Passes 2,000, Experts Are Getting Worried
12 August, 2026: For months now, Doctors and government workers have battled Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). And for the most part it has been a losing battle. Despite their best efforts, authorities cannot contain Ebola, which now threatens to spiral out of control. This virus has spread rapidly especially in northern and eastern DRC, with a total of 4,381 confirmed cases.
“There’s a lot of people who live there. So this is not breaking out in a town of 50, but in rural cities of hundreds of thousands,” – David Wohl, MD, a professor of medicine in the Division of Infectious Diseases at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, told Fox News Digital.
Wohl has called this outbreak a “perfect storm” of adverse conditions. He points to the difficulties of getting containment of this deadly disease. This outbreak has reached densely populated areas, and with the fact that the gestation period is from 2 to 21 days from the time of exposure to the virus, it’s easy to see how this virus could get out of control very quickly. On average, symptoms typically begin to appear within 8 to 10 days. Individuals infected with the virus are not contagious until they actually develop symptoms.
The Convergence of All The Signs
Earlier I wrote about the potential catastrophe if Ebola took hold in the nation’s homeless population. It would threaten major cities if the outbreak occurred. This article only suggests Americans should stay alert without panicking. However, should this disease get hold in our homeless population, it would wreak havoc on our major cities as a whole.
The Bible tells us of ‘pestilence’; while the modern translation of this suggest outbreaks of insects, pestilence as meant in the Bible describes various diseases. This is best Illustrated by the Christian Standard Bible:
Then he told them, “Nation will be raised up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 There will be violent earthquakes, and famines and plagues in various places, and there will be terrifying sights and great signs from heaven. – Luke 21:10-11 CSB
The times are getting so close, so obvious that there is hardly any need for interpretation. All that is needed is an understanding of the Bible. The situation in the Middle East is of such a nature that we’re watching Ezekiel unfold in real time. This taken along with all the Bible prophecies being fulfilled, such as wars and rumors of war, earthquakes, and the signs in the skies, sun and moon, there can be little doubt into the time in which we live.
The question becomes are you going to be the one who catches the signs, or someone who ignores the obvious?
More Major Earthquakes Showing Intense Activity in the Pacific Rim
10 August, 2026: A large subduction earthquake Occurred today in the South American country of Colombia. The very powerful earthquake measured 7.4 magnitude, and happened at 7:34 a.m. local time. The epicenter was located in the Chocó Department, just outside the town of San José del Palmar. It struck at an intermediate depth of roughly 107 to 110 kilometers (about 66 to 68 miles).
The Predictions of the Bible Are Converging
Many people speak about convergence, but I’d like to explain what that means and why it’s so important. Convergence is exactly as the word implies, a clustering or gathering together of the signs of the last days. So while earthquakes alone are a significant sign of the last days. While the USGS fights very hard to tell us these earthquakes are completely normal, the truth says just the opposite.
Many people have decided to take the raw data and find out for themselves. The truth is that earthquakes, especially large earthquakes have been steadily increasing since around 1948. And just as Jesus predicted these earthquakes that are especially high magnitude have been steadily on the rise. Even the USGS admits to that.
There will be violent earthquakes, and famines and plagues in various places, and there will be terrifying sights and great signs from heaven. – Luke 21:11 CSB
In fact, Jesus actually spoke of convergence in this passage taken directly from the Bible. To give an example, in 1967 there was an outbreak of earthquakes in South America. However, unlike today where we are seeing an outbreak of earthquakes all around the Pacific Rim, but in addition we are seeing newly discovered diseases, old diseases that are making a huge comeback. Scientists love to remind us, for example, this cyclosporiasis is an old infection that’s been around for a long time, why then is this the first time many of us had even heard of it?
Because, this is the first time that this infection has spread so rampantly. Until this year, this disease was only affecting very few. Now in Kentucky alone (my state), there are at least 620 cases. Paired with a host of diseases that have thought to be in control but now have come back with a vengeance. Tuberculosis , for example was a very deadly disease, however thanks to antibiotics was reduced drastically in the world. This same disease now has come back with an antibiotic resistant strain that has began spreading all over again.
There have been multiple signs in the heavens. 2025’s comet outbreak was something never before seen on this earth. Normally, a person might see 2 to 3 comets in their entire lifetime. But 2025 gave us 4 comets, all with various unique qualities that made scientists sit up and take notice. The most famous of all was I3-Atlas, a comet that behaved so irrationally, some scientists still speculate it might have been an alien probe.
The sun has caused so many ‘northern lights’ in the skies of the lower 48, that it’s not even an event any longer. People no longer rush outside for the ‘once-in-a-lifetime-event’, because they know that these things are appearing a few nights a month. All these things are happening at the same time, and they are actually increasing in frequency. A few nights ago, I did an experiment: I went to msn.com, and I just scrolled down the list of stories. I found 7 stories that were directly relevant to Bible prophecy.
Jesus told us also:
28 “But when these things begin to take place, stand up and lift your heads, because your redemption is near.” Luke 21:28 – CSB
Israel’s Rabbinical Court Has Just Made Believers In Jesus Sit Up and Take Notice
8 August, 2026: For years, the governing bodies of Israel have been largely secular. Israel’s government ran much like most European democracies; a Prime Minister, several parties that all jostled for power in the Knesset. But in recent times, Israel has made a very significant change in how their civil courts operate. Israel has an official state rabbinical court system (batei din rabaniyim) that operates alongside the ordinary civil courts. These aren’t merely private religious tribunals; they are part of Israel’s legal system and have state-backed jurisdiction in certain areas of Jewish personal-status law.
What do they actually handle?
The most important areas are:
Jewish marriage and divorce
Conversion to Judaism
Certain other matters of Jewish personal status
Some family-law matters connected to divorce
For Jewish couples, a Jewish religious divorce (a get) must be obtained through the rabbinical court system. The religious system governs Jewish marriage and divorce, unlike civil marriage in the United States.
In March 2026, Israel enacted legislation expanding the authority of religious courts. The new law allows rabbinical courts, when the parties agree to arbitration, to handle civil disputes such as financial disputes, rental agreements and labor disputes—not merely religious/family matters.
An Historic Ruling
On July 29th of this year, the 15th of the month of Av in the Jewish calendar, the Sanhedrin issued a ruling. The modern Sanhedrin issued what was described as a formal ruling/petition directed toward God, asking for several things, including:
The removal of hostile forces threatening Israel
The revelation/arrival of the Messiah (Mashiach)
The rebuilding of the Third Temple
The restoration of prophecy
The report specifically characterizes it as a three-part petition to Heaven, and the rebuilding of the Temple is explicitly included.
“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her. How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! 38 See, your house is left to you desolate. 39 For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord’! ” Matthew 23:37-39 CSB
Jesus told us that he specifically is waiting for a time when the nation of Israel as a whole calls for his return. Jesus was quoting Psalm 118. “Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: We have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.” (Psalms 118:26 KJV)
Now to be fair about it, the Sanhedrin has not said the phrase, Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. But this represents a significant shift in both the attitude and the government of Israel. Consequently, a population that was largely secular is experiencing a strengthening of religious nationalism and Jewish religious institutions. A recognized religious court exists. Temple preparations have been underway for years. And now a body identifying itself as the Sanhedrin is publicly petitioning God for the Messiah.
What Does It All Mean?
What this is showing is a realignment of priority in Israel. An acknowledgment that Israel is thinking about their future and realizing their need for prophecy to be fulfilled. Is it exactly what Jesus was talking about in Matthew 23? Only he knows that for sure. But what we can say with 100% certainty is a lining up of a mindset, a realization that Israel needs its Messiah to ensure a peaceful future. Only the Sanhedrin itself can answer the exact question if their plea equates to the call ‘blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord”, but the implication is clear. Israel needs its Messiah, which is the true meaning of Jesus’ words.
Despite The Media’s Best Efforts, Some Truth About Genocide in Gaza Comes Out
3 August, 2026: The Western Journal has released an article addressing the accusations of genocide in Gaza. Despite a ‘full court press’ by the liberal democrats and the legacy news media, there are some outlets that refuse to go along with the fallacy. The reported stories of genocide in Gaza is one of the most well-orchestrated propaganda stories in history.
“Unsurprisingly, those linking Israel’s intent to defeat Hamas to the wanton killing of Palestinian civilians are almost entirely far-left members of the Democrat Party.” – Neil Bright, The Western Journal
The story goes to the heart of the matter: There is a difference between war and genocide. When civilians are killed due to the fact that Hamas uses Palestinians as human shields, this is not genocide, these are war crimes committed by Hamas.
You Mean Someone Told The Truth?
The article also highlights the fact that the stories of genocide are exclusively told by Gaza media, supposed Palestinian witnesses, and outright lies spread by rumor and innuendo. This is something that has been highlighted on this site many times before. Joseph Goebbels would have been proud of the propaganda campaign that has brought this myth of genocide to the world.
The story also makes a wonderful point: How much should we be willing to believe people who have literally taken an oath to destroy the entire nation of Israel? And further more, how much more hypocrisy can one tolerate? You would actually listen to a group of people who publicly acknowledge their desire to commit genocide against Israel and the Jews who live all over the world? Once again, I’d like to make something perfectly clear:
For the last 2,000 years, every generation has had an excuse to hate the Jewish people. Genocide against Palestine is this generation’s excuse, nothing more.
What The Bible Says
The Bible goes into astonishing detail over the history of the Jewish people, but in a way no other book on earth does: the history is written in advance. Every major event in Jewish history for the last 2,000 years was literally written in the Bible. Revelation is the last book of the Bible, both in its layout and in its timeline. The book of Revelation was written about 95 A.D. But between the lines of Genesis and the warnings of Revelation, the history of the Jews, past present and future, has been told.
In 135 A.D. The Jews were scattered from Judah, and fled throughout Europe, and finally to places even as far as South America. There is a substantial Jewish presence in Argentina to this day, thanks to the efforts of Christopher Columbus, who ferried Jews escaping the Spanish Inquisition.
“And I will scatter you among the nations and will draw out a sword after you as your land becomes desolate and your cities are laid waste.” – Leviticus 26:33 NIV
This, by the way is the beginning of the controversy of whose land is it. Emperor Titus was so angry, so furious with the Jewish people, he exiled the entire race from what was then called Judah. As a final insult to the Jews, he renamed the land Palestine, which is the Latin form of the word Philistine. They were the ancient enemies of Israel. In the story of David and Goliath, Goliath was a Philistine.
But no matter where the Jews went, they became a constant source of of turmoil. During the Spanish Inquisition, Jews were tortured until they decided to convert to Christianity, then they were tortured to death if their conversions were deemed “insincere”. During the Middle Ages, Jews were accused of spreading the Bubonic Plague. Following World War I, Jews were accused of deliberately sabotaging the German economy.
“Among those nations you will find no repose, no resting place for the sole of your foot. There the Lord will give you an anxious mind, eyes weary with longing, and a despairing heart. You will live in constant suspense, filled with dread both night and day, never sure of your life. In the morning you will say, ‘If only it were evening!’ and in the evening, ‘If only it were morning!’—because of the terror that will fill your hearts and the sights that your eyes will see.” – Deuteronomy 28:65-67 NIV
During World War II, the Bible writes this stunning verse about the plight of the Jewish people:
“And so it shall be: Instead of a sweet smell there will be a stench; Instead of a sash, a rope; Instead of well-set hair, baldness; Instead of a rich robe, a girding of sackcloth; And branding instead of beauty.” – Isaiah 3:24 NKJV
These things were literally fulfilled in the Extermination Camps of Germany: A stench was constantly in the air due to the sheer number of executions, and Germany’s inability to dispose of bodies quick enough. Jews were summarily hanged and their bodies left up for a time as a warning to others who might not be willing to fully submit to the German guards. Prisoners heads were shaved, both men and women.
The Iconic striped uniforms were made of the cheapest material available which was frequently the same material used to make feed sacks. And finally, many Jews were given a serial number tattooed on their arms for permanent identification.
But following World War II, the most stunning piece of Bible prophecy was fulfilled. In 1948, a homeland was given to the Jewish people, right back in the very land that was once theirs. In the land the world called Palestine, the Jewish people were given a home.
“You will know that I am the LORD, my people, when I open your graves and bring you up from them. 14 I will put my Spirit in you, and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I am the LORD. I have spoken, and I will do it. This is the declaration of the LORD.’ ” Ezekiel 37:13-14 CSB
I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel. They will rebuild and occupy ruined cities, plant vineyards and drink their wine, make gardens and eat their produce. 15 I will plant them on their land, and they will never again be uprooted from the land I have given them. The LORD your God has spoken. – Amos 9:14-15 CSB
It is no wonder that the world is scrambling to this very day to deny the accuracy of this scripture. I will say to any person, any cleric, any college professor or anyone else: The Bible needs no ‘interpretation’. The Bible was written for any and every human being who wants to read and understand it. Any time any one tries to tell you that the Bible doesn’t mean what it says is trying to deceive you. And the New Testament warns us many times about deception in the last days.
1 Now the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will depart from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons, 2 through the hypocrisy of liars whose consciences are seared. – 1 Timothy 4:1-2 CSB
These are just a few examples of how the Bible has given us an in depth prediction of the Jewish people in the last days, and so far those predictions have come true with 100% accuracy. No other book on earth can make that claim.
And the overriding theme to all of this is, everything is a sign of the last days, and the end of the world.
Italy’s Super Volcano Has Shown a Pattern of Increased Activity Since 2020
1 August, 2026: A 4.7-magnitude earthquake struck the region. According to the Italian National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), the epicenter was located just west of Naples in the Campi Flegrei volcanic caldera at a shallow depth of about 3 kilometers (approx. 2 miles).
The tremor is counted among the strongest seismic events recorded in the area in modern decades, echoing concerns from previous intense swarms. Four people sustained injuries, and panicked residents in neighborhoods across Pozzuoli and Naples rushed out into the streets. It caused power outages, minor building and church damage, and temporary suspensions of local train and metro services for safety inspections.
Campi Flegrei has been experiencing ongoing episodes of bradyseism (ground uplift) and intensifying seismic swarms. Volcanologists and local authorities are closely monitoring the continuous pressure changes in the hydrothermal and magmatic systems beneath the densely populated caldera, as repeated shallow shocks raise ongoing concerns about structural integrity and future unrest.
Could This Be The Preparation For the “Wrath of The Lamb”?
Then I saw him open the sixth seal. A violent earthquake occurred; the sun turned black like sackcloth made of hair; the entire moon became like blood; 13 the stars of heaven fell to the earth as a fig tree drops its unripe figs when shaken by a high wind; 14 the sky was split apart like a scroll being rolled up; and every mountain and island was moved from its place. 15 Then the kings of the earth, the nobles, the generals, the rich, the powerful, and every slave and free person hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains. 16 And they said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of the one seated on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb, 17 because the great day of their wrath has come! And who is able to stand? ” – Revelation 6:12-17 CSB
This chilling passage for centuries was largely seen as symbolic, or a combination of symbology and actual events. But in light of recent world changes and the dramatic increase in serious earthquakes, and activity world-wide. Volcanoes are becoming more active and we have even see instances of long thought extinct volcanoes come back to life. Keep in mind, Campi Flegrei is not part of the Pacific Ring of Fire.
This passage in the book of Revelation can be accurately interpreted as an eruption of a Super Volcano like Campi Flegrei. Once we take into account that the Apostle John was having a vision: This is not something that was being told to him by someone else. John was seeing things happen through the lens of time, and doing his best to describe what he was seeing in ways he could, based on his own life experiences.
At first he sees a great earthquake that rocks the land. Shortly afterwards, the sun turns black as sackcloth. This is a completely normal phenomenon following the major eruption of a volcano. People observing Mt. St. Helens erupt in 1980 said the sun was completely blocked out in the sky. The day turned into night, because a thick, blanket of smoke filled the sky.
John then mentions that the moon turns red as blood. Again, a completely normal event following a volcano eruption. Aerosol gases are released from the volcano and are carried high into the upper atmosphere. These gases have an odd effect on white light: the smaller waves of light that normally produce blues, violent and some yellows are reflected while the lower, longer waves of light are allowed to pass. These longer waves appear as red and orange. So when the moon is seen in the sky, the moon will appear red as blood.
The next part is the most intriguing: John describes seeing “the stars of heaven fell to the earth as a fig tree drops its unripe figs when shaken by a high wind;”. Years ago, people would have thought surely John was speaking symbolically. After all, stars are many times larger than the earth, so there is no way they could fall to earth. But keep in mind, John is simply telling us what he is seeing. And John is seeing ‘lava bombs’. During an extremely violent eruption, volcanoes will emit these bombs flying through the air. They are burning red hot, like melted rocks being thrown high into the air and come falling back to earth. Can you imagine this in your mind?
These bombs, especially if seen during the evening would closely resemble stars falling to the ground. These glowing melted rocks streaking down to earth would look almost like stars falling to the ground, if you didn’t know what was going on by experience.
Lastly, John sees the skies ‘rolling up’ like a scroll. Again, if you’ve never seen this phenomenon. But when a volcano erupts, especially one as large as a super volcano, a tremendous amount of heat into the upper atmosphere. If there are clouds in the sky above the volcano, the clouds will literally be pushed back from the sky. You’ve probably seen this phenomenon for yourself if you’ve noticed what happens when a nuclear bomb is tested. The clouds above this detonation will be pushed back and out of the sky directly above the volcano.
Just How Many More Signs Do You Need?
There are signs happening on this earth that are so prolific, so obvious, that there is no excuse. Let me say that again; there is no excuse. No one, not one single person can say they didn’t have any idea that Jesus was coming back. In fact, the Bible tells us that in the last days there will be people who will scoff at the idea of the return of Christ:
Scoffers will come in the last days scoffing and following their own evil desires, 4 saying, “Where is his ‘coming’ that he promised? Ever since our ancestors fell asleep, all things continue as they have been since the beginning of creation.” – 2 Peter 3:3-4 CSB
And this, if nothing else, is the only sign we should need. Take a look at the world around you, and see how this world is behaving. See how exactly the world mirrors what the word of God says about the end times. This is the last of the last days. The Bible warns us that in this time in which we live, we would know that the time is near. We’re not guessing here! We’re not engaging in supposition; we are taking a look at what the Bible says, and we are witnessing what is going on in the world. Jesus says, “You will know when it is near, even at the door.” (Matthew 24:33)
Nearly 100,000 Immigrants Flood Spain As Nations Weigh The Options
31 July, 2026: For the last two days, tens of thousands of immigrants have flooded the city of Ceuta. This city is located on the North African Coast, sharing a border with Morocco, which is the source of most of these invaders. However, the vast majority of these are male Muslims, which might indicate they are simply using Morocco as a gate into Spain.
These immigrants have already been on video throwing rocks at passing police cars, shouting “Allahu Akbar”, setting fire to buildings and automobiles. The Spanish Government, a Socialist government has yet to respond to the crisis other than issue a press release. According to reports, the Spanish citizens are not happy.
Italy has taken the decisive step to close their border to anyone entering from Spain, as a deterrent to illegal immigrants swarming their country as well. In response, the European Union sharply criticized Italy, accusing them of breaking the treaty by closing the border to other European countries.
The Bible Predicts These Things Will Happen
The Bible tells us in the last days that these uprisings among the peoples. In the last days, the Liberals, Democrats and Socialists have brought us to the brink of another World War. They have pushed aside unity, and encouraged national identity. This drove a wedge between the people, encouraging them to consider their particular race as ‘special’ or persecuted. It’s an old saying, “Divide and Conquer” which was their goal to begin with. There really is nothing new under the sun, because this was predicted by Jesus himself.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. – Matthew 24:7 KJV
The word in the original Greek is ethnos; its the same word that we get the English word “Ethnic” from. Jesus is literally telling us, “race shall rise up against race”. And this is exactly to the very letter what is happening in the world, 2,000 years later.
The more I watch the world the more disgusted I get. The obvious foolishness in the world, doing the very things the Bible predicts, making absurd decisions and choices. Truly the Bible speaks well of these people in the last day: “Professing themselves to be wise, they have become fools” (Romans 1:22)
It is completely beyond me that any rational person can open their eyes and just see what is going on in the world today, and still not believe the Bible is true. This is not a matter of opinion, it is plainly written predictions in the Bible. They are coming true in literal form.
And The Rest of The World Continues On
The Bible says that in the last days, they will say “peace and safety”, then sudden destruction will come. Hamas, the Iranian backed terror group that leads the Palestinians, has announced their plans to surrender. How many people actually believe what Hamas says? Still, of course, Donald Trump has jumped on board, praising the decision of Hamas. As if he actually believes it.
Will this be it? Peace and safety is proclaimed on almost a weekly basis by the Trump administration. It is the only administration I remember that has attacked so many different places, all in the name of peace. There is no promise of tomorrow: I would like to give you some advice:
Plan for the next 50 years, but live like this is the last day.
30 July, 2026: We would love to believe that everything happens for a reason. The idea that there is some vast, universal plan that makes everything, no matter how tragic, balance out in the end. The idea that everything has a happy ending. In fact, everything does happen for a reason, but only by putting reason in the balance can we come to some sort of truth about the question.
The idea that everything happens for a reason has many, many implications. For example, let’s say a purely hypothetical situation: A drunk driver runs a red light, smashing into a car with an expected mother being taken to the hospital to deliver a child. In fact, this is something that once happened in this area years ago. We would all love to know that some unseen reason for this tragic occurrence will bring the scales back to even and this wasn’t a senseless act by a foolish person.
But there was a reason: The reason was because one person decided to act in accordance with their personal lack of values, instead of giving due honor to the laws of the state of Kentucky. The reason was tragic things happen when a person decides to ignore the law, and this is just a result of lawlessness.
The Upside of Balance
But not all things that happen for a reason are tragic. Thankfully, we don’t have to rely on the whims of fate, or the cruelty of happenstance. Things happen for a reason, and those can be good things. In the last few weeks, I have been trying to take care of myself. I am limiting my snacks to just a few times a week rather than a few times a day. I make sure to get some activity every day. When it comes time to have a meal, I’ve tried to make healthier options. As a result, I have dropped 11 pounds without really trying to diet. Just making healthy choices has caused something good to happen.
That is the upside of balance. The idea that everything happens for a reason can be a tool for us to use to make positive changes in our lives. The idea that living right and doing the right thing can cause the changes we’d like to see in our lives come to pass. We can literally be the reason that causes something to happen.
Michael Jackson was right
As a young man in my early 20’s, I remember the Michael Jackson craze that swept the country. One of those iconic songs he released was “Man In The Mirror”. That song encouraged people to make the world a better place by making personal changes to our own lives, rather than try to take on the problems of the world. And that idea, the idea behind the song is one of most needed messages the world.
The principal is simple. “If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make that change.” That was the verse in the song and that is the idea we should embrace. Personal change can affect you, your family, your friends and loved ones, and the community around you. Instead of one grand crusader, who rises to public notoriety, and prompts people to change, we should instead make the changes in our lives to impact the world. Imagine if everyone, literally everyone in your neighborhood decided to give $5 a month to the local food bank. My nearest town has a little over 7,000 residents. A small town to be sure. But what would $35,000 a month do for a food bank?
God’s Promise To The Believer
And of course, we cannot fail to mention the Bible’s take on this subject. I once heard a Bible teacher put forth the idea that Romans 8:28 should be a Bible verse that we wake up in the middle of the night to check to make sure it’s still in the Bible:
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. – Romans 8:28 KJV
This is nothing short of awesome! As a believer in Christ Jesus, we can rest assured that God is working diligently to make sure that our world, our future is secure. That no matter what happens on this earth, God has already promised us that nothing is going to be too big for us to conquer. We have the weapons of our spiritual warfare: prayer, faith, the wonderful promises of God’s Word to give us the confidence to say, “There shall no evil befall me, neither shall any plague come near my dwelling.” (Psalm 91:10)
When the world is fearing war and violence, we can confidently say, “Though a thousand shall fall at my side, though 10,000 at my right hand, it will not come near me.” (Psalm 91:7)
Does everything happen for a reason: Yes, everything happens for a reason, but not all things are good. But as a believer in Christ, you can rest easy knowing that God is working on your behalf to make sure all those things work together for your good.
29 July, 2026: Although not nearly the largest earthquake Japan has ever experienced, this earthquake was only the 8th earthquake in history to max out Japan’s Seismic Intensity Scale. In Japan, earthquakes are also measured much like tornadoes are measured in the USA.
This earthquake maxed out the scale with a Shindo 7 score. That’s the highest score any earthquake can receive, regardless of the magnitude. Just like in America, we call a tornado an ‘F5’ due to the damage it causes, and no tornado can go any higher. Because this earthquake was not very deep at all underground, nearly every bit of the energy of this earthquake made it to the surface, magnifying the damage caused. There have only been 7 other earthquakes to cause this much damage.
Shindo 7 earthquakes means it was impossible to remain standing during the earthquake; people are thrown off balance or even tossed into the air. Most unsecured furniture shifts violently, topples over, or is thrown across the room. Even highly earthquake-resistant buildings can suffer severe damage. Structures with low earthquake resistance have a high probability of leaning or outright collapsing.
The Final Stages of The End Times
If you have noticed, I haven’t been writing this blog very much. It’s not that I’ve become bored, or changed my mind. It is simply the fact that times are happening with such furious speed, I simply can’t keep up with what stories to write about and what stories I can pass up. It’s just like trying to get a drink of water from a fire hose. There is just so much coming straight at us in this time, there is no doubt of what is happening. From signs in the sun and the moon, to the ongoing conflict with the very same group of people directly quoted in the Bible: There is little doubt we are on the road leading directly to the book of Revelation.
“There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. 26 People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken – Luke 21:25-26 NIV
Let’s take a close look at this often quoted verse. Just a few days ago, a huge sunspot was located on the surface of the sun, resembling a hook. While others speculated what this supposed sign meant, relating the hook with being ‘caught up’, the first thing came to my mind was the quote of Jesus to his disciples: “I will make you fishers of men”.
“It’s just like trying to get a drink of water from a fire hose.”
“On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea.” We’ve heard this for the last few years, how climate change is attacking our coastlines, with conspiracy stories about how the ocean level will rise X amount of feet in a few years. And of course, it’s getting to the point where it isn’t safe to walk the streets in many of our biggest cities. In fact, even in rural areas crime is becoming more and more common, especially violent crime.
To make matters worse, our government actually covers up these statistics, giving us this false sense of peace in order to make us re-elect the same bunch of liars who did nothing for the last four years but stuff their wallets and bank accounts.
Between the Aurora Borealis becoming so common in the lower 48 states that no one bothers looking outside at night any more, and this week’s ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ arial event, we’re bored with all too common comet, planetary alignment, or rare moon phase event.
In Conclusion
There was a time when the United States Geological Survey (USGS) bent over backwards gas lighting us that everything we’re seeing is perfectly normal and we were imagining an increase in earthquakes. The truth of the matter is large, serious earthquakes just like the one we seen in Japan started to increase back in 1948. Coincidently, that was the year Israel became a nation. No, there wasn’t much coincidence at all. That began a countdown to the end times, and here we are in 2026, and the Bible is literally coming true not just on a daily basis, but multiple times a day.
Today in my Bible study, I’m on Isaiah chapter 17. Today, God shown me something in that chapter that I’d never noticed before. While Iran can’t even hold an intelligent conversation, they sure know how to blame everything, regardless how foolish on Israel. And today, as I read in Isaiah chapter 17:
Listen! The armies of many nations roar like the roaring of the sea. Hear the thunder of the mighty forces as they rush forward like thundering waves. 13 But though they thunder like breakers on a beach, God will silence them, and they will run away. They will flee like chaff scattered by the wind, like a tumbleweed whirling before a storm. 14 In the evening Israel waits in terror, but by dawn its enemies are dead. This is the just reward of those who plunder us, a fitting end for those who destroy us. – Isaiah 17:12-14 NLT
This is a precipice; a prophecy happening right now, in real time. During the evening, Israel sits awake, watching the skies for the missiles of the terrorists and cowards. They wait in terror, just waiting for an air raid siren to make that mad dash to a shelter. But, before the morning comes, Israel responds, targeting the very enemies that fired at them during the night, and the morning news reports on the death of those who made the foolish decision to attack.
Do you want to see Bible prophecy come to pass? It is quite easy. Simply tune in to a live streaming service of any Israeli news feed. See with your own eyes the missiles that fly through the air, only to be shot down by advanced Israeli technology. Then wake up the next day and tune in to the same streaming services to hear about the retaliation Israeli Forces dealt out on their enemies.
This could very well be the last thing I ever post: If you wait until the rapture has occurred in order to make your decision for Christ, there is a very good chance you will not live to see the Second Coming of Christ. There is even a better chance that you will not be strong enough to withstand the pressures and tribulation you will experience. There will be enormous pressures on you to capitulate: deny Christ in order to take advantage of what the world will offer you. Imagine having money, but unless you knowingly deny Christ as the Messiah and worship the statue of a man, you will not be allowed to buy or sell.
You need to settle this in your mind one way or another: Either stop reading blogs like these and live it up while you can, or humble yourself and make a decision to prepare for the future. The Bible says that getting saved is a simple thing, and you can do it right here, right now. You don’t have to go to a church, talk to a preacher, or recite a long-winded ‘repeat after me’ prayer.
All you need is a little faith, and the ability to make a quality decision. If you are ready to be saved here is what you should do. First of all, read the prayer below out loud. Make sure you can hear yourself talking:
Heavenly Father, I confess that Jesus Is Lord: I believe he died for my sins on the cross and was raised from the dead on the third day according to scripture. Come into my life.
Make a decision that from now on, you believe the Bible is true. You believe in Jesus, and you believe he is the Messiah of God, and that he died on the cross and rose from the dead. That is your leap of faith right there. Believing is such a simple thing. You have been doing this all your life and not even realizing it. Your spouse once told you ‘I love you’, and you believed what they said, and eventually you trusted that love enough that you either asked them to marry you, or you said ‘yes’ when they asked.
And here is a scripture you should mark in your Bible. You should read it many, many times and remember it often. This is your receipt, your proof of purchase, not that you bought anything, but you have been bought, redeemed by the blood of Jesus who shed his blood that you might be saved.
This is the message of faith that we proclaim: 9 If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation. – Romans 10:8-10 CSB
