“For you yourselves know perfectly
that the Day of the Lord
(the coming ‘Apocalypse’ and Armageddon)
so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, ‘Peace and Security!’ then sudden destruction comes upon them,
as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.”
(1 Thessalonians 5:2-3)
“Because, even because
they have seduced My people (Israel),
saying, “Peace!”, and there WAS no peace…”
(Ezekiel 13:10)
“For they have healed the hurt
of the daughter of My people (Israel) slightly,
saying, ‘Peace, Peace; when there is no peace!”
(Jeremiah 8:11)
Even though I never know what to expect, for technical reasons I usually limit the number of Headlines to a maximum of 6 new headlines each day (along with a couple of related “Sub-Headlines” on occasion if necessary) …
TODAY’S NEWS HEADLINES ARE A BIT OVERWHELMING and cannot easily be filtered down to just SIX (or less).
HERE ARE TODAY’S HEADLINESthat remained after the initial cut today, and I will simply list them all with a short “starter” list of Bible Prophecies at the bottom to help you determine yourselves whether or not what we are seeing is prophetically significant …
The number “FIVE” (5) is the number of God’s Grace.
In Romans 5 God tells us 5Times that our Salvation is a “FREE GIFT” of Grace (and NOT by works) …
ROMANS 5 “Therefore, since we have been justified (saved) by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.2 Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.3 Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope,5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us …
15 But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man’s trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many.16 And the free gift is not like the result of that one man’s sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brought justification.17 For if, because of one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.”
God has blessed this nation with 5 Jubilees (250 years) as a Light unto the nations, as a restrainer to the nations blocking Rome (the German “Kaiser”) and the Unholy Roman Empire (the Third “Reich” which means “holy Roman empire”), and as a safe harbor for the Children of Israel …
“Five” is the number of God’s Grace …
The Children of Israel must soon stand alone against the World … with God!!!
The Bible warns “The Falling Away,” the “Rapture,” The “Antichrist,” and the “Apocalypse” are ALL closely linked …
“Now brethren,
(He is warning believing Christians)
concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him (the ‘Rapture’ and escape)
Let no one deceive you by any means,
for that Day (The terrible Apocalypse … after the Rapture)
will not come unless the falling away (‘departing from the faith’ … the Apostasy) comes FIRST
(just like we are now seeing)
And the man of sin (the coming Antichrist) is revealed, (when he enforces a peace upon Israel)
the son of perdition (another title of the Antichrist)
who opposes and exalts himself
above all that is called God
or that is worshiped,
so that he (the coming Antichrist)
sits as God in the Temple of God,
(a new Temple will be built in Jerusalem) showing himself that he is God.
(this event will trigger the Great Tribulation) Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things?”
(In Acts we find Paul was with them for only 3 weeks!!)
(2 Thessalonians 2:1-5)
It is Prophecy that sets the Bible apart from ALL other books and religions …
“Surely the Lord GOD does nothing
Without revealing His Plan
To His servants the prophets.”
— Amos 3:7 (ESV)
“Here a little, there a little”
God’s Word teaches us there are some matters found in the Bible that must be earnestly and diligently “searched out” through wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and insight.
God likens them to an “enigma” or a “riddle”
“It is the glory of God
to conceal a matter,
But the glory of kings is
to search out a matter.” (We are told “kings” are all who believe in His Word)
(Proverbs 25:2)
“For precept must be upon precept,
precept upon precept,
Line upon line, line upon line, Here a little, there a little.”
(Isaiah 28:10)
“A wise man will hear and increase learning, And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel, To understand a proverb and an enigma,
The words of the wise and their riddles.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,
But fools despise wisdom and instruction.” (We are to ‘fear’ the consequences of ignoring God’s Word )
(Proverbs 1:5-7)
Then Jesus also tells us,
“These are the words I spoke to you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about Me
in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, And the Psalms.”
Luke 24:44
As a note, during our Daily Bible Reading throughout the year, I will often ask the A.I. Assistant on my iPhone to find what a specific place or name found in a verse means in Hebrew, which then occasionally spins off into far deeper (and even remarkable) Bible Studies drawn from its vast database of Old and New Testament Scriptures, the Jewish Talmud, the Jewish Midrash, the Dead Sea Scrolls, or a number of other ancient Hebrew writings … and an additional note and warning on AI is given at the end of this study.
This study was prompted by Psalm 50 (which always falls on July 27th).
Beginning with a simple inquiry concerning the Hebrew meaning of the word “tempest” found in Psalm 50 (to compare with a verse found earlier in Psalm 12), this study soon “blossomed” into a far deeper study concerning the “Rapture” in such a comprehensive way it seemed important to share it with others in order to help determine if the prophetic details forming the tapestry of this study are significant for us today …
While George W. Bush was President he ALLOWED the US Military to court martial Chaplains who prayed “in Jesus’ Name” …
I have to admit I was duped by George Bush. But, under the “cowboy” and “God bless” smokescreen and veneer he powerfully and stealthily advanced the Democrat Party and Roman Catholic/Islamic agenda like no other Republican president before him …
Using “Mass Immigration” tactics, Roman Catholics gained their plurality over “Protestants” in CANADA around 1966, and Canada’s Socialist government takeover is now complete …
I know at least a few of you do not share this World News page with others because the fear of ridicule or the fear of upsetting others is holding you back (because we all struggle with it) …
However, I would not be doing my job if I didn’t occasionally offer you this Biblical reminder, that as “Watchmen” we are commanded to warn the people (whether or not they want to listen):
First, BEWARE! For Jesus makes it clear we are ALL Watchmen!!!
“And what I say to YOU,
I say toALL: WATCH!!” (Mark 13:37)
Second, the WARNING …
“When I (God) bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man from their territory and make him their watchman, When he sees the sword coming upon the land, IF he blows the trumpet and warns the people, then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood shall be on his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, but did not take warning, his blood shall be upon himself … BUT, if the watchman sees the sword coming And does NOT blow the trumpet, and the people are NOT warned, And the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity (sin); BUT, his blood I will require at the WATCHMAN’S hand.” (Ezekiel 33:2-9)
Third, the “WHY” …
“The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, Not wishing for ANY to perish but for ALL to come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)
It’s not my job (or our job) to tell anybody what to believe …
Our job (and my job) is to simply present the Bible prophecies (which the Bible warns the World will see at “The time of the end”) along with the News in order to help warn others, and to let them decide whether or not to heed or take these Biblical warnings seriously.
This site even provides a way (using Math and Science) for them to easily TEST these things to PROVE if they are true or not!!
Sharing a link to this website with family and friends via email, text, or social media can be your way of fulfilling your “Watchman’s duties”!
BTW, I just discovered the banner World News header image at the top of the page was not being used as the default image being sent with a shared Text, etc. …
This problem has now been remedied, and you can find some easy Share icons on the left side of the page.

(Ezekiel 13:10)
“For they have healed the hurt
of the daughter of My people (Israel) slightly,
saying, ‘Peace, Peace; when there is no peace!”
(Jeremiah 8:11)
“WATCH therefore,
and pray ALWAYS that you may be counted worthy to ESCAPE all these things that WILL come to pass.” (The coming Apocalypse)
(Luke 21:36)
The citizens of Kansas have the opportunity to Vote for a state a measure that will require Supreme Court Justices be democratically elected rather than “appointed” as they are now …
So, VOTE “YES!” on this measure which is being rabidly attacked by the (Socialist) Democrat Party.
During the 13th and 14th centuries the “devout” Roman Catholic king of Spain (“Crown of Aragon”) himself recruited thousands of Islamicmercenaries (known as Jenets) to maintain power.
The Bible warns many deceitful teachers will successfully infiltrate into our churches …
“For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, (Warning: They will look and sound very Christian) transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if HIS (Satan’s) ‘ministers’ ALSO transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, (or pastors, reverends, or priests) whose end will be according to their works.” (2 Corinthians 11:13-15)
Turkey’s Leader (Erdogan) once quoted the following concerning Islam …
“The mosques are our barracks, The domes our helmets, The minarets our bayonets And Muslims our soldiers …”
Here Are a Few Socialist Tactics Concerning Our Children …
“He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future” (Hitler)
“Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.” (Stalin)
“Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.” (Lenin)
“The education of all children, from the moment that they can get along without a mother’s care, shall be in state institutions at state expense.” (Karl Marx)
Socialist leader Stalin (who was educated in a Roman Jesuit school which was NOT an “Orthodox” school as some now list) also gave the following “road map” for the long-term Socialist destruction of America when he said …
“America is like a HEALTHY body
and its RESISTANCE (to Socialism-Communism) is threefold: Its Patriotism,
its Morality,
and its Spiritual life.
If we (Socialist-Marxist-Communists)
can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within.”
(Stalin)
“Because, even because
they have seduced My people (Israel),
saying, “Peace!”, and there WAS no peace…”
(Ezekiel 13:10)
“For they have healed the hurt
of the daughter of My people (Israel) slightly,
saying, ‘Peace, Peace; when there is no peace!”
(Jeremiah 8:11)
“For you yourselves know perfectly
that the Day of the Lord
(the coming ‘Apocalypse’ and Armageddon)
so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, ‘Peace and safety!’ then sudden destruction comes upon them,
as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.”
(1 Thessalonians 5:2-3)
In Bible prophecy we are told there will be TWO new Temples built on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem … the first new Temple will be built around the time of the Antichrist (a counterfeit-Messiah … Revelation 11:2 … 2 Thessalonians 2:4) and the final Temple (Ezekiel 40-48) when Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha’Mashiach in Hebrew) returns …
In the book of Revelation a new Temple which will be built around the time of the coming Antichrist is mentioned …
“But leave out the court which is outsidethe Temple,
(interesting … this is the area now controlled by Islamics) and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles (non-Jews). And they will tread the Holy city (Jerusalem) underfoot for forty-two months.”
(3 1/2 years … the 2nd half of the Apocalypse) (Revelation 11:2)
Israel WILL Be “Divided” Around The Time of Armageddon
“I (GOD) will also gather ALL nations, and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. (Same as Megiddo … ARMAGEDDON!!!) And I (GOD) will enter into judgment with them there on account of MY People, MY Heritage, ISRAEL, whom they have scattered among the nations. THEY HAVE ALSO DIVIDED UP MY (GOD’S) LAND.” (Joel 3:2)
ALL Nations of the World WILL Turn Against Israel!!
The Bible also warns“at the time of the end” (around the time of the coming Apocalypse and Armageddon (also called the “Time of Jacob’s (Israel’s) Trouble”- Jeremiah 30:7) ALL nations (including the US) will unite (United Nations?) and turn against Israel (Zechariah 14:1-2 … Joel 3:1-2 … Revelation 16:13-16).
But, it is heart-wrenching to see it now actually happening. It is like watching the water receding from the beach just before a great and terrible tidal wave strikes. Remember … Armageddon is in Israel!!!
“For I (GOD) will gather ALL the nations to battle against JERUSALEM” (Zechariah 14:2)
“And I (God) will be to her (Jerusalem) a wall of fire all around … He who touches you (Jerusalem) touches the apple (pupil) of His eye … (Woe to those who poke God in the eye) Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord, for He has roused Himself from His holy dwelling” (Zechariah 2:5,8,13)
It must be carefully noted that in the book of Hosea God says Israel “are NOT My People” …
Yet, in the Ezekiel War chapters 38-39 God says “the children of Israel ARE His People.”
Many believe this means the Bible-believing Church(“The Restrainer” as the Holy Spirit and His Bride) MUSTBE REMOVED at some point BEFORE God intervenes through this coming War …
“Were your acts of harlotry a small matter, that you have slain MY children, (God sees these babies as His!) and offered them up to them (demons) by causing them to pass through the fire …” (Ezekiel 16:20-21)
Using “Mass Immigration” tactics, Roman Catholics gained their plurality over “Protestants” in Canada around 1966, and Canada’s Socialist government takeover is now complete …
Joe Biden is an empowered Roman Catholic whose loyalty and obedience belongs to the Roman Pope and NOT to the Rule of Law and Constitution of the United States …
Prophecy from Ezekiel 36 (placed just before the Russia-Turkey-Iran War in Ezekiel 38) …
“And you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say, ‘O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord! Thus says the Lord God: “Because the enemy has said of you, ‘Aha! The ancient (Golan) heights have become our possession” (Ezekiel 36:1-2)
– “Hamas” took control over Gaza soon after Gaza was “forsaken” by Israel. Hamas is directed,
trained, and equipped by Iran (study the prophecies of Russia and Iran).
“As the days of Noah”…
Jesus warnedthe generation of the coming ‘Apocalypse’ would be filled with “violence.”
“But as the days of Noah were,
so also will the coming of the Son of Man be”
(Matthew 24:37)
To help us understand this prophecyGod describes the generation of Noah as morally “corrupt” and “filled with violence.”
The actual Hebrew word translated “violence”in this passage (which caused God to destroy ALL the Earth) is “HAMAS!”
“The Earth was corrupt before God,
(morally “corrupt”… like smelly, rotting meat) and the Earth was filled
with violence.
(The Hebrew word for this violence was “hamas!”)
So God looked upon the Earth,
and indeed it was (morally) corrupt;
for all flesh had corrupted
their way on the Earth.
And God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the Earth is filled with violence (‘hamas’)
through them; and behold, I WILL destroy them with the Earth.’”
(Genesis 6:11-13)
In the Bible, God says He has given these prophecies and warnings so people will return to Him before the great and terrible Day of the Lord (the coming Apocalypse) in order to escape all these things.
While testing and studying these Bible prophecies it may be a good time for many to start taking the Bible seriously.
For Jesus Christ warns …
“When you SEE these things,
know that it is NEAR – – At the DOOR!!”
(Mark 13:29)
Here are some of the some of the prophecies found in the Bible which refer to this strange, forceful, prophetic and awesome coming event which we simply call “The Rapture” . . .
“Behold! I tell you a mystery.
We shall not all sleep (die a bodily death), but we shall all be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.
(See the “trumpet of gathering” Numbers 10:11-14)
For the trumpet will sound,
and the dead will be raised imperishable,
and we shall be changed.”
(1 Corinthians 15:51-52)
“For the Lord Himself
will descend from Heaven with a shout,
with the voice of an archangel,
and with the trumpet of God.
And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up (raptured) together
with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
And thus we shall always be with the Lord.”
(1 Thessalonians 4:16-18)
“For in the Time of Trouble (The Great Tribulation … the Apocalypse)
He shall hide me in His pavilion;
in the secret place of His tabernacle
He shall hide me;
He shall set me high upon a Rock.”
(Psalm 27:5) (The Bible says Jesus is the only “Rock”)
“Who ARE these that fly like a cloud, and like doves to their windows?”
(Isaiah 60:8)
“Save, O Lord,
For the godly One is gone; For the faithful have vanished
from among the children of man.”
(Psalm 12:1 ESV)
“Come, MY people, enter your chambers,
and shut your doors behind you; hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment, until the indignation (the great Tribulation) is past. For behold, the LORD comes out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the Earth
for their iniquity (the coming Apocalypse);
the Earth will also disclose her blood,
and will no more cover her slain.”
(Isaiah 26:20 – 21)
“Seek the LORD,
all you meek of the Earth,
Who have upheld His justice.
Seek righteousness,
Seek humility.
It may be that you will be hidden in the Day of the LORD’S anger.” (The coming Apocalypse)
(Zephaniah 2:3)
“Because you have kept
My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole World,
to test those who dwell on the Earth.” “Behold, I come quickly (suddenly)!”
(Revelation 3:10-11)
“But of that day and hour no one knows,
no, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.”
(Matthew 24:36)
“Then two men will be in the field: One will be taken and the other left.
Two women will be grinding at the mill: One will be taken and the other left.” “WATCH therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.”
(Matthew 24:40-42)
“Be dressed and ready (in readiness), and keep your lamps lit.
Be like men who are waiting
for their master when he returns
from the wedding feast,
so that they may
immediately open the door to him
when he comes and knocks.
Blessed are those slaves
whom the master will find on the alert
when he comes. Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming
at an hour you do NOT expect.”
(Luke 12:35-36,40)
“But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren,
you have no need that I should write to you.
For you yourselves know perfectly that the Day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.”
(1 Thessalonians 5:1-2)
“WATCH therefore,
and pray always that you may be counted worthy to ESCAPE all these things that WILL come to pass.” (The coming Apocalypse)
(Luke 21:36)
From the ancient Hebrew Scriptures, here are some of the prophecies which anybody claiming to be the Messiah MUSTfulfill …
– Be born in Bethlehem (Israel) (Micah 5:2)
– Claim a virgin birth by a direct descendant of King David (Isaiah 7:14)
– Ride triumphantly into Jerusalem on a donkey as a King (Zechariah 9:9)
– Be betrayed by a close friend (Psalm 41.9)
– Have a price of 30 pieces of silver placed upon Him (Zechariah:11:12-13)
– Have the 30 pieces of silver thrown into a potter’s field (Zechariah:11:12-13)
– Be rejected by Israel and despised by many (Isaiah 49:7)
– Be brutally beaten and scourged with a whip (Isaiah 53:5-7)
– Remain silent during His trial and ordeal (Isaiah 53:7)
– Be Crucified (nails driven through His hands and feet) (Psalm 22:14, 15, 16, 17)
– Be mocked during His time of suffering and death (Psalm 22:7-8)
– Have lots cast for His clothes (Psalm 22:18)
– Have His side pierced (Zechariah 12:10)
– Have the Sun darkened at noon on the day of His death (Amos 8:9, 10)
– Be buried in a rich man’s grave (Isaiah 53:9)
– Be resurrected before decomposition starts (within 4 days) (Psalm 16:10)
Even though the Feast of Trumpets (also called Yom Teruah and “the Last Trump” in Hebrew writings) which will take place in SEPTEMBER is the Feast Day (“Moed”) most mentioned as a possible Rapture feast, due to the warnings Jesus gave, such as “at a time we least expect” and others, many (not all) warn it could happen on a different Jewish Feast day … or any day … as we are taught to ALWAYS“be dressed and ready” ...
Since Tisha B’Av (the 9th of Av) marks the day BOTH Jewish Temples were “removed” … and, in the New Testament we are told the believing Church is now the “living” Temple in which the Holy Spirit dwells, which will one day be “removed”… it is not unreasonable to consider Tisha B’Av as a possibility …
Fast of Tish’a B’Av – July 22-23, 2026 (Modern Jewish Calendar) Fast of Tish’a B’Av – July 24-25, 2026 (Dead Sea Scrolls Calendar)
“WATCH therefore, (for the signs He warned we would see) AND PRAY ALWAYS That you may be counted worthy to ESCAPE ALL these things
that WILL come to pass.” (By believing and trusting in Jesus Christ’s worthiness … not ours) (Luke 21:36)
You will find the message found in the Bible is not trivial … It is staggering!!!
Did You Know …
Bible prophecy allows (and invites) everyone in the world, both the skeptical, the sympathetic, the Christian, and the Non-Christian alike to test God’s Word.
Prophecy is God’s way of warning ALL Mankind of the grave danger that now lies ahead.
Almost 30% of the Bible is prophetic (telling of future events), and has so far been 100% accurate.
There is no other book in the world like it.
It contains the History of the World … Written in Advance!!!
