America's Unraveling: A Biblical Diagnosis of a Nation in Crisis
The Oncologist’s Burden
There’s a sacred weight that physicians carry when delivering terminal diagnoses. They must balance truth with compassion, clarity with kindness. They cannot sugarcoat the prognosis, yet they must preserve hope where hope remains. As I write these words, I feel that same burden—not as a physician of the body, but as a watchman on the wall, compelled to speak what I see in Scripture and in our present moment.
Over a year ago, in late July and early August 2024, I published three articles examining Mystery Babylon, America’s prophetic identity, and the question of which city—Babylon or Jerusalem—deserves our ultimate allegiance. At the time, the evidence seemed compelling. Today, with the passage of time and the unfolding of events, those articles read less like speculation and more like prophecy being fulfilled in real-time.
This is not an easy message to deliver. But like the oncologist who must speak truth so the patient can make informed decisions about their remaining days, I must lay before you the biblical evidence, the prophetic timeline, and the current state of our nation and world. What emerges is a picture both sobering and glorious—judgment and redemption intertwined in the final movements of God’s great symphony.
A Word of Clarity
I want to emphasize: this is not about left versus right. This is not about Republican versus Democrat. This is not about socialism versus capitalism. Those are temporal political distinctions that will be utterly irrelevant when history concludes.
This is about recognizing prophetic patterns and understanding where we stand in God’s timeline. Mamdani’s election is significant not because of who he is, but because of what his election symbolizes in the broader prophetic narrative.
The Bereshit Prophecy and God’s Seven-Thousand-Year Plan
The Pattern Established in Genesis
God established the entire prophetic timeline in the opening chapter of Scripture. Genesis 1 is not merely a creation account—it is a prophetic template for all of human history. The pattern is simple and profound: seven days of creation mirror seven thousand years of human existence.
The Apostle Peter makes this connection explicit: “But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day” (2 Peter 3:8).
This is not metaphor. This is divine mathematics.
Six days God labored, creating the heavens and the earth. On the seventh day, He rested. The pattern: six periods of work, followed by one period of rest. Applied to human history: six thousand years of toil, sin, suffering, and redemption, followed by one thousand years of Sabbath rest—the Millennial reign of Christ.
The Early Church Understood This
The early Church fathers grasped this prophetic template with clarity that has been largely lost in modern evangelicalism. They didn’t view it as speculative eschatology but as foundational truth.
Barnabas (70-130 AD), companion of Paul, wrote: “Therefore, children, in six days, or in six thousand years, all the prophecies will be fulfilled. Then it says, ‘He rested on the seventh day.’ This signifies at the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus, He will destroy the Antichrist, judge the ungodly, and change the sun, moon, and stars. Then He will truly rest during the Millennial reign, which is the seventh day.”
Irenaeus (130-202 AD), bishop of Lyon and student of Polycarp (who was discipled by John the Apostle himself), wrote: “For in as many days as this world was made, in so many thousand years shall it be concluded. The day of the Lord is as a thousand years; and in six days created things were completed: it is evident therefore, that they will come to an END at the sixth thousand year.”
These were not fringe voices. They represented mainstream apostolic teaching, passed down directly from those who walked with Jesus and the Twelve.
The Prophetic Alignment
The implications are staggering. If we are nearing the six-thousandth year of human history, we are approaching the transition from the sixth day to the seventh—from human kingdoms to the Kingdom of God manifest on earth.
Multiple chronological studies of Scripture place us somewhere between years 5,997 and 6,000 from Adam’s expulsion from Eden. Even the modern Jewish calendar—which scholars acknowledge omits approximately 196 years due to historical suppression of messianic calculations—places us near year 6,000.
We stand at the threshold of the greatest transition in human history.

The 120th Jubilee: America's Prophetic Collapse and the Rise of Mystery Babylon
The Jubilee Pattern
God instituted the Jubilee in Leviticus 25 as a profound prophetic picture. Every fiftieth year, all ownership returns to the original owners. Slaves are freed. Debts are cancelled. Land reverts to those who held it by divine right.
The Jubilee is not merely an economic reset. It is a prophetic declaration: God owns everything, and He will reclaim what is His.
“And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you, when each of you shall return to his property and each of you shall return to his clan” (Leviticus 25:10)
The Mathematics of Redemption
Scripture reveals a perfect mathematical pattern:
- 120 Jubilee cycles × 50 years each = 6,000 years
- The 120th Jubilee marks the completion of the sixth “day”
- The Jubilee trumpet that begins the 121st cycle will be blown by Jesus Christ Himself
- This is the “last trumpet” Paul references in 1 Corinthians 15:52
Think about that: when Paul wrote about the resurrection occurring at the “last trumpet,” he wasn’t being vague. He was referring to the final Jubilee trumpet—the 120th—which signals the end of human history’s sixth millennium and the beginning of the seventh.
The trumpet of Jubilee was always blown on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. When Christ returns, He comes as both Redeemer and Judge. The Jubilee He announces is cosmic in scope: all creation returns to its rightful Owner. The curse is lifted. The prisoners are freed. The earth itself is redeemed.
Prophetic Markers in History
The Jubilee timeline aligns with Scripture’s major redemptive events:
- 40th Jubilee: Abraham receives the covenant
- 42nd Jubilee: Isaac, the child of promise, is born
- 59th Jubilee: God establishes the Davidic Covenant
- 70th Jubilee: Daniel’s seventy weeks prophecy begins
- 120th Jubilee: The last trumpet sounds, Christ returns, ownership returns to God
We are living in the 120th Jubilee cycle. The final fifty-year period before the Sabbath millennium.

Mystery Babylon Identified—New York City
The Case Presented
In my July 30, 2024 article, I presented what I believe is overwhelming evidence that New York City is the Mystery Babylon described in Revelation 17 and 18. The characteristics are too specific, too detailed, and too perfectly aligned to dismiss.
Let me review the evidence briefly, for those who haven’t read the original article:
The “Mother of Harlots” (Revelation 17:5) — New York City is the world’s financial epicenter. Wall Street literally dictates global economic policy. The pursuit of wealth has become a religion, and New York is its Vatican.
“Drunk with the blood of the saints” (Revelation 17:6) — Through its financial institutions, pharmaceutical headquarters (Pfizer), and the United Nations, New York indirectly finances persecution of Christians worldwide. Every wire transfer that funds anti-Christian regimes flows through New York’s banking system.
“The great city which reigns over the kings of the earth” (Revelation 17:18) — The United Nations headquarters sits in Manhattan. Wall Street’s decisions topple governments and install new ones. No city on earth wields more comprehensive power over world affairs.
The Convergence of Prophecy: Why Mamdani's Election Matters
“Peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues” (Revelation 17:15) — New York is the most ethnically diverse city in human history. Over 800 languages are spoken in its boroughs. Every nation on earth is represented in its streets.
“In one hour your judgment has come” (Revelation 18:10) — September 11, 2001, gave us a preview. In mere hours, the Twin Towers fell. Smoke rose. The world watched. Ships stood at a distance. Merchants mourned their losses. It was a prophetic dress rehearsal for the final judgment still to come.
“The merchants of the earth have grown rich from the power of her luxurious living” (Revelation 18:3) — New York’s luxury consumption is legendary. Its fashion, art, real estate, and entertainment industries set global standards for opulence and excess.
The Wilderness Connection
One detail often overlooked: the harlot dwells in a “wilderness” (Revelation 17:3). This puzzled me until I considered the perspective. To the Apostle John, recording His Heavenly visit, has his perspective from the biblical lands—from Jerusalem—To John, New York City WOULD sit across an ocean, separated by a vast wilderness of water. New York City is, quite literally, in the wilderness relative to the prophetic center of the world where John resided.
The Seven Mountains
“The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits” (Revelation 17:9)
Some interpret this as Rome’s seven hills. But consider the Statue of Liberty’s crown: seven points representing seven continents. New York’s influence extends over all seven continents—a dominion more comprehensive than Rome ever achieved. The United Nations connection located in downtown New York.

Zohran Mamdani—The Second Bite at the Apple
The Prophetic Warning for America
On November 4, 2025, Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor of New York City. He is a democratic socialist who has been vocally critical of Israel and supportive of Palestinian causes. His election to lead the city with the largest Jewish population outside of Israel carries profound prophetic symbolism.
New York City has one of the biggest LGBTQ populations in the entire world. Muslims hate gays and lesbians. They are commanded to kill gays, lesbians, queers, and transgender people. How is it possible that Mamdani was elected by Jews and LGBTQ?
I want to be clear: this is not about Mamdani’s character, his qualifications, or his policy positions. Those are matters for political debate, and I have no personal animosity toward him. What concerns me is the prophetic timing and symbolism of his election.
New York City—which I believe Scripture identifies as Mystery Babylon*—has just elected a leader whose political ideology and foreign policy positions stand in stark opposition to the United States, Israel, traditional Judeo-Christian values, and the LGBTQ community. The irony is profound. The symbolism is impossible to ignore.
*Be sure to come back and read the sequel to New York City Mystery Babylon... "Which City and Nation Will You Defend Now?"
People of New York City are not stupid; they are driven. The only possible drive behind Mamdani’s rise to victory is to glorify satan. It is purely the work of Lucifer and his human followers, the Luciferians, who literally OWN both political parties in the US.
THIS BEAST SYSTEM CANNOT BE FIXED, AND IT WILL BE BURNED TO THE GROUND ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURES.
Do not be naive to think the conservatives have any less connection to the Luciferians, who own and control THE system, the BEAST SYSTEM.
The First Bite: September 11, 2001
September 11, 2001, was, I believe, the first bite at the apple. It was God’s warning shot. The Twin Towers—symbols of global commerce and economic power—fell in a matter of hours. Revelation 18:10 describes Babylon’s judgment as coming “in one hour.” On 9/11, we saw a preview of that prophecy.
The world watched in horror as smoke rose from Manhattan. Ships in the harbor couldn’t approach. Merchants and business leaders watched their fortunes evaporate. The stock market closed. Global commerce ground to a halt.
“And the kings of the earth, who committed sexual immorality and lived in luxury with her, will weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning. They will stand far off, in fear of her torment, and say, ‘Alas! Alas! You great city, you mighty city, Babylon! For in a single hour your judgment has come’” (Revelation 18:9-10)
That description matches 9/11 with eerie precision.
The Second Bite: A Prophetic Warning?
Is Mamdani’s election the second bite? Is it God’s way of signaling that the next judgment—the final judgment—is approaching? Last wake-up call? The city that once stated boldly, IN GOD WE TRUST, has just given the keys to the one physically, mentally, and spiritually controlled and manipulated by satan himself. Jews and the LGBTQ community sealed his victory.
Essentially, the people of New York City have turned their backs on Jesus, His coming Kingdom, and have chosen a politician who hates their very existence and follows a religion that commands the downfall of Israel and America. Considering everything that has happened in the UK and all over Europe, no city would legitimately give its future to an anti-US foreign-born Muslim socialist. YOU CAN'T MISS THE IRONY.
New York City (the city itself) attempted to imprison Donald Trump, take all his wealth, kick his business and his family out of the city, while simultaneously electing a Jew-hating, anti-police socialist. You can't make this up. We deserve it.
All facts and reality aside, something is not adding up. How is it that the “educated” white women of the democratic party are insisting on men being in women's sports, killing babies in the womb, and harboring immigrant criminals (many rapists and child molesters) while advocating for foreign drug runners killing our youth (Fentanyl) through open borders? Our Veterans are dropping like flies, and the democrats are throwing themselves on the sword of illegal immigrants. NOTHING MAKES SENSE.
The contradictions are amazing and truly horrifying at the same time. There is no logical explanation until you study Eschatology.
Everyone will pay for this accelerated madness. It could be tomorrow.
The Muslims, Jews, and Christians are all waiting for the arrival of their Messiah. These three religions represent the majority of humans alive today. Each of their eschatological beliefs is very similar; at least the scope and timing of End Time events are similar. I believe that if America ever woke up to the reality of the Muslim/Islamic eschatological COMMANDS, we would stop what we are doing immediately, and REPENT. They must kill all unbelievers or lose paradise.
Consider the timing of everything. We’re in the 120th Jubilee. We’re approaching year 6,000 of human history. Everything that is happening in the world right now was prophesied thousands of years ago in the Bible. Israel is experiencing unprecedented prophetic fulfillment--it is undeniable.
Peace for land deals is being brokered. Wars are escalating. And now, the city God calls a mystery, Babylon—the city He says is drunk with the blood of saints—has elected a leader who opposes the very nation God calls His own, Israel.
The symbolism is too precise to ignore. The time for judgement has come.

America’s Collapse—The Diagnosis No One Wants to Hear
The Judicial Crisis
America is experiencing something unprecedented in its history: the complete breakdown of the judicial system. Lower federal courts are openly defying Supreme Court rulings. District judges are blocking executive orders with blatant disregard for higher court precedent. The system of checks and balances has collapsed into chaos.
When courts no longer respect the authority of the highest court, you no longer have a justice system. You have judicial anarchy.
This is not hyperbole. Legal scholars across the political spectrum acknowledge that we’re in uncharted territory. The rule of law—the bedrock principle upon which the entire American experiment rests—is crumbling.
The Economic Collapse
As I write this, America is enduring Day 39 of a government shutdown—the longest since the 2018-2019 crisis. The Congressional Budget Office estimates permanent economic losses between $7 and $14 billion. GDP growth for Q4 2025 has been revised downward by 1-2 percentage points. Hundreds of thousands of federal workers have been furloughed without pay. SNAP benefits have been cut, leaving millions of Americans facing food insecurity.
And here’s what breaks my heart: many on the political left are celebrating this pain. They see American suffering as a necessary step toward their policy goals. Meanwhile, many on the political right refuse any compromise, viewing negotiation as capitulation.
Both sides have lost sight of the human cost. Both sides are so consumed with political power through hate that they’ve forgotten about the people caught in the crossfire.
Trump’s National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett warned that the economic impact is “far worse than initially expected.” If the shutdown continues another month, the quarterly GDP could be catastrophically damaged.
This is not normal political gridlock. This is institutional collapse.
The Corruption Exposed
The last several years have systematically exposed corruption at the highest levels of American government:
The Russia Hoax revealed CIA and FBI leadership deliberately fabricating evidence to undermine a sitting president.
The Jack Smith indictments demonstrated the weaponization of the Department of Justice for political purposes.
The January 6th Committee collapsed under the weight of its own lies, with evidence emerging that contradicted the carefully constructed narrative.
Multiple district attorneys—in Fulton County, Manhattan, and elsewhere—coordinated legal attacks against political opponents using novel legal theories never before applied.
Two assassination attempts against President Trump during the 2024 campaign revealed either staggering incompetence or something more sinister in the Secret Service.
And on September 10, 2025, Charlie Kirk was murdered by a sniper while speaking at Utah Valley University. Kirk, a vocal defender of Israel and conservative values, was shot in the neck while answering a student’s question. His assassin, Tyler James Robinson, was explicitly motivated by political ideology.
The Fentanyl Genocide
Over 100,000 Americans die annually from fentanyl poisoning. The drug flows across our southern border in industrial quantities. Mexican cartels mass-produce death, and the Biden Admin did nothing to stop it. Democrats are now opposing the military strikes against the Venezuelan drug smugglers.
We should be asking, “Who are the democrats FOR? What are they FOR?” If they win, what would "winning look like in the end"?
You have to admit, EVERYONE'S BEHAVIOR IS BIZARRE, like a self-seeking parasite. It makes no sense, nothing seems to make sense... unless it is a sinister plan.
It would seem the democrat party has become Antifa, and Antifa reflects the true heart of the new democrat party. It is impossible to miss, the democrats are hell bent on destroying the United States of America and establishing a different kind of nation. And, they are not waiting for your vote, approval, or appreciation--they are not asking, come hell or high water, they will burn it down.
The republicans seem to be cheering the democrats on because they are doing nothing to stop them. Somehow, the conservatives are complicit, or somehow they are benefiting from the democrats' lunacy. In many cases, the republicans are just as bad as the democrats, if not worse than.
THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY ALL OF THIS TOMFOOLERY IS REPUBLICAN INCOMPETENCE, combined with the democrats' stunning competence. There is NO WAY for that to be mathematically possible; the odds are just too great. Something is wrong. Something is missing.
Jesus hates hypocrisy, and if republicans had a title bestowed on them by truth, it would be HYPOCRIT. We are not witnessing mere policy failures. This is a national genocide-by-design. STOP AND THINK.
We can seal the border and remove the illegal immigrants, but didn't, until now. WHY?
We have the intelligence capability to disrupt cartel operations and stop all drugs from flowing into the US. Yet, we allow 100,000 deaths per year. Keep in mind that, in the entire Vietnam War, 59,000 American troops perished. Can you imagine a Vietnam War body count every six months? You'd better, cause it is a reality. Yet no protests. It seems as though no one cares, left or right.
Don’t you think we should be doing EVERYTHING to stop drugs from killing our young people?
Something is missing. Nothing seems to be making sense anymore.
The Child Trafficking Nightmare
Over four short years, hundreds of thousands of children disappeared into sex trafficking networks at our southern border. The Biden government documented their entry. The Biden Administration supposedly tracked their placement with “sponsors.” HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN ARE MISSING AND NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. How is that possible?
We, every US citizen, are complicit in the industrialized trafficking of children. I don't see national protests ANYWHERE demanding action by our government. DO YOU?
As the Biden Immigration system loses 350,000 children, this same group of people just voted in Mamdani. There is no way this is a coincidence.
And, how is it possible that we have foreign-born legal immigrants in the United States Congress, who are vocal radical Muslims spewing out radical Islamic dialogue DAILY, including virulent hatred for America remain in the country? Instead, our national press parade them around like national heroes. How do these very vocal and public America haters keep their citizenship? How is it possible? What country would be stupid enough to allow that?
This is not a conspiracy theory. These are documented facts, acknowledged by government agencies themselves.
The Irreversible Division
Let’s agree that the political division in America has transcended normal partisan disagreement and devolved into mutual hatred. The left views the right as a fascist threat to democracy. The right views the left as communist destroyers of civilization. Both sides celebrate the other’s suffering.
One side murdered Charlie Kirk for speaking at a college campus, and their followers cheered and sneered as they celebrated his murder. I don’t want to live in this kind of country. Who would?
Today, right now:
Lower courts defy the Supreme Court.
Democrats refuse to feed starving Americans unless they get Obamacare subsidies.
Republicans refuse to compromise on anything, viewing negotiation as betrayal.
No nation survives this level of internal conflict without divine intervention or violent resolution.
The Biblical Verdict
Here is the hard truth: the Bible does not prophesy America’s recovery.
Search Scripture from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single prophecy about a great nation in the far west experiencing revival, repentance, and restoration in the last days. You will not find prophecies about America leading the world to Christ. You will not find promises that America’s best days are ahead.
What you will find are prophecies about Babylon’s judgment, about the collapse of global systems, about nations raging and plotting in vain, about wars and rumors of wars, about the love of many growing cold, about lawlessness increasing, about people being lovers of self rather than lovers of God.
You will find prophecies about a remnant being saved, about a faithful few enduring to the end, about believers being hated by all nations for Christ’s name.
But you will not find prophecies about America’s restoration.
This is the diagnosis no one wants to hear. But like the oncologist who must speak truth, I cannot sugarcoat what Scripture reveals.

The Prophetic Convergence—All Signs Aligning
Israel and the “Covenant with Many”
President Trump has accomplished something remarkable: he has brokered multiple peace agreements involving Israel. The Abraham Accords, initially signed in 2020, have expanded. Kazakhstan joined in November 2025. Talks are underway with Syria, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia.
In October 2025, Trump negotiated a Gaza ceasefire that brought Israeli hostages home. He’s implementing a 20-Point Peace Plan that involves land negotiations and regional cooperation.
This is historically unprecedented. And it’s prophetically significant.
Daniel 9:27 speaks of the Antichrist confirming (or strengthening) a covenant with many for one week (seven years): “And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease.”
I am not suggesting Trump is the Antichrist. I believe Trump is unwittingly setting the stage for the final covenant that the Antichrist will confirm. Trump is establishing the framework—the precedent of multi-nation peace agreements involving land concessions—that the Antichrist will exploit.
The covenant exists. The Antichrist will strengthen it and enforce it.
Wars and Rumors of Wars
Ukraine continues to bleed. Hundreds of thousands are dead. Russia shows no signs of backing down. One million Russian soldiers are dead or wounded. NATO is increasingly involved. The risk of escalation to broader European conflict—or even nuclear exchange—remains dangerously high.
In June 2025, Israel struck Iran’s nuclear facilities in a daring raid that eliminated much of Tehran’s capacity to produce weapons-grade material. This temporarily neutralized one existential threat, but it also enraged Iran and its proxies across the region.
Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza, the Houthis in Yemen, and Iranian-backed militias in Syria and Iraq all remain committed to Israel’s destruction. The region is a powder keg.
Jesus said, “And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet” (Matthew 24:6).
We are witnessing this prophecy fulfilled in real-time.
Signs in the Heavens
Governments worldwide are disclosing UFO/UAP encounters. The Pentagon has released videos. Congressional hearings have featured military personnel testifying about unexplained aerial phenomena. Foreign governments—including Mexico, Brazil, and others—are openly discussing extraterrestrial contact.
What are we witnessing?
Some possibilities:
Demonic entities manifesting as Paul warned they would: “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places” (Ephesians 6:12).
Fallen angels preparing humanity for the great deception: “Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false” (2 Thessalonians 2:11).
Preparatory conditioning for the Antichrist’s signs and wonders that will deceive the nations.
Whatever the truth, something cosmic is being revealed. The veil between dimensions is thinning. Supernatural realities are breaking into the natural realm with increasing frequency.
The Blood of the Martyrs
Revelation 17:6 describes Mystery Babylon as being “drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus.”
On September 10, 2025, Charlie Kirk was assassinated while speaking at Utah Valley University. He was shot by a sniper who was explicitly motivated by political ideology and hatred for Kirk’s conservative, pro-Israel positions.
Kirk was 31 years old. He left behind a wife and young children.
His murder was not random violence. It was a targeted assassination of a man who spoke truth and defended Israel.
Former Representative Jason Chaffetz, who witnessed the shooting, said with emotion: “Nobody should have to witness and go through what I went through… I will never unsee that. I will always feel it.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Kirk “a lion-hearted friend of Israel.”
Kirk’s assassination is part of a growing pattern of political violence:
The murder of a Minnesota state lawmaker and her husband in June 2025
An arson attack at the Pennsylvania governor’s residence in April 2025
A transgender shooter killing 2 children and wounding 21 at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis on August 27, 2025
Two assassination attempts against President Trump during the 2024 campaign
The persecution is escalating. The blood of the righteous is being spilled.
Mystery Babylon is drunk with it.
The Church Asleep
Jesus told the Parable of the Ten Virgins in Matthew 25. Five were wise and prepared. Five were foolish and unprepared. When the bridegroom came, only those with oil in their lamps were ready to enter the wedding feast.
The American church largely resembles the foolish virgins. We are comfortable, complacent, and unprepared. We have massive buildings but shallow discipleship. We have entertainment-driven worship but little prayer. We have programs and processes but scant evidence of the Holy Spirit’s power.
We are asleep. And the Bridegroom is at the door.
-----
What Can We Do? Should We Even Try?
The Central Question
Can we stop biblical prophecy?
The answer is no. We cannot prevent God’s prophetic timeline from unfolding. We cannot stop the judgments decreed before the foundation of the world. We cannot alter the appointed end of the age.
But that doesn’t mean we should be passive.
Prayer Changes Things
James 5:16 declares: “The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.”
While we cannot stop prophecy, we can pray for mercy within judgment. We can pray for more time to spread the Gospel. We can pray for revival before the Rapture. We can pray for the salvation of millions who are currently perishing.
God delights in answering the prayers of His people. He loves it when we intercede for the lost. He responds to a faith-filled petition.
So yes, we should pray. We should pray with urgency. We should pray without ceasing.
Evangelism Is Our Mission
Jesus gave us the Great Commission: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19).
That commission remains in effect until Jesus returns.
Our goal should be audacious: one billion souls saved before the Rapture. It sounds impossible. But with God, all things are possible.
We must evangelize with urgency. We must make disciples with intentionality. We must share the Gospel with boldness.
Building for the Tribulation
Here’s something most believers don’t consider: the greatest revival in human history will occur during the Tribulation—after the Church is raptured.
Revelation 7:9 describes an innumerable multitude from every nation standing before the throne, clothed in white robes. When John asks who they are, he’s told: “These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb” (Revelation 7:14).
This means that during the darkest period in human history, more people will come to faith than in any previous era.
Who will disciple them? How will they learn? What resources will they have?
We should be building ministries, creating resources, and establishing networks that will endure through the Tribulation. We should be training believers who will be left behind (whether through lack of readiness or through divine appointment) to lead others to Christ during those seven terrible years.
Our work has eternal significance beyond our own generation.
Coming Out of Babylon
Revelation 18:4 issues a clear command: “Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues.”
This is not merely about physical relocation. It’s about spiritual separation.
We must come out of Babylon’s value system. We must reject the pursuit of wealth as ultimate good. We must resist the intoxication of materialism. We must refuse to give our allegiance to corrupt institutions and systems.
We must choose Jerusalem over Babylon. We must serve God’s Kingdom rather than earthly empires.
This is costly. It means career limitations. It means financial sacrifice. It means social marginalization. It means being labeled extreme, radical, or fanatical.
But it also means freedom. It means integrity. It means standing before Christ with clean hands and a pure heart.
Preparing to Die
Charlie Kirk died speaking the truth. He was 31 years old, with a wife and small children who would grow up with photographs instead of memories.
Jesus said, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me” (Matthew 16:24).
Following Jesus in the last days may very well cost us everything. Are we prepared for that?
Revelation 12:11 describes those who overcome: “And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.”
That’s the standard. Loving not our lives even unto death.
Most of us in the American church have never seriously considered martyrdom. We’ve never contemplated being persecuted for our faith. We assume religious freedom will always exist, that we’ll always be able to worship without cost.
That assumption may be dangerously naive.
We should prepare our hearts. We should count the cost. We should determine now that we will not deny Christ, no matter what threats we face.

The Millennial Reign—The Seventh Day Sabbath
The Promise of Rest
After six thousand years of human toil, sin, suffering, and death, God will give His creation a thousand-year Sabbath rest.
Jesus Christ—the Second Adam—will physically reign on earth from Jerusalem, sitting on David’s throne, ruling over all nations with righteousness and justice.
This is not an allegory. This is not a spiritual metaphor. This is a literal, physical, earthly reign.
Isaiah 2:3-4 describes it beautifully: “For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. He shall judge between the nations, and shall decide disputes for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.”
The Conditions of the Millennium
Scripture reveals specific conditions that will exist during Christ’s thousand-year reign:
Satan bound: Revelation 20:1-3 describes an angel casting Satan into the abyss and sealing it for a thousand years. The great deceiver will be unable to influence nations or individuals.
Resurrected saints governing: Those who died in Christ, and those raptured before the Tribulation, will reign with Christ. We will have glorified bodies, immortal and incorruptible. We will serve as judges, administrators, and teachers in Christ’s government.
Edenic conditions restored: Isaiah 65:20-25 describes lifespans returning to near-Edenic lengths, with a person dying at one hundred being considered a child. The curse will be partially lifted. Animals will no longer be predatory. Agriculture will flourish with supernatural abundance.
Universal knowledge of God: Habakkuk 2:14 declares, “For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.” Every person on earth will know the truth about Jesus Christ.
Jerusalem as world capital: All nations will come to Jerusalem to worship. Zechariah 14:16-17 describes nations sending representatives annually to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem. Those who refuse will experience drought.
Israel exalted: After millennia of persecution, scattering, and suffering, Israel will finally fulfill its destiny as a kingdom of priests, mediating God’s blessing to all nations.
Justice and Righteousness
Christ’s rule will be characterized by perfect justice and righteousness. No corruption. No bribery. No manipulation of legal systems. No oppression of the weak by the powerful.
Isaiah 11:4-5 describes it: “But with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked. Righteousness shall be the belt of his waist, and faithfulness the belt of his loins.”
This is the government we long for. This is the justice system we dream of. This is the world we’ve always wanted but could never achieve through human effort.
And it’s coming.
The Final Rebellion
At the end of the thousand years, Satan will be released for a short time. Revelation 20:7-9 describes him going out to deceive the nations once more. Astonishingly, he will succeed in gathering a massive army to rebel against Christ’s rule.
This final rebellion demonstrates the incorrigible nature of the human heart. Even after a thousand years of perfect government, abundant provision, and direct knowledge of God, many will still choose rebellion when given the opportunity.
Fire will come down from heaven and devour the rebels. Satan will be cast into the lake of fire forever. Then comes the Great White Throne Judgment, followed by the New Heavens and New Earth.

The Eternal Perspective—Don’t Be Afraid, Praise God
Judgment and Glory Intwined
Everything I’ve written in this article could be read as doom and gloom. America collapsing. Mystery Babylon judged. Wars escalating. Martyrs are being killed. The greatest tribulation in history is approaching.
But that’s not the complete picture.
Yes, judgment is coming. But so is glory. Yes, the old order is passing away. But a new order—God’s perfect Kingdom—is being established. Yes, we may suffer. But our suffering produces eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison.
Paul writes in Romans 8:18: “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.”
Redemption Is Near
When we see these things beginning to take place, Jesus tells us what our response should be: “Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near” (Luke 21:28).
Not fear. Not despair. Not anxiety.
Instead: straighten up. Raise your heads. Your redemption is near.
The darker the night, the closer the dawn.
Our Response Should Be Praise
Instead of fear, we should have faith.
Instead of complaining, we should have worship.
Instead of despair, we should have hope.
Why? Because God is faithful. Because His promises are sure. Because His Kingdom is unshakeable.
Psalm 46:1-3 declares: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling.”
The earth may give way. Mountains may crumble. Nations may collapse. But God remains our refuge.
The Blessed Hope
Titus 2:13 calls the Rapture our “blessed hope”: “waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.”
It’s not called our “terrifying escape” or our “narrow avoidance of judgment.” It’s our blessed hope.
Why? Because it means we’ll see Jesus face to face. Because it means the suffering ends and the glory begins. Because it means we’ll be with Him forever.
1 Thessalonians 4:17-18 concludes its description of the Rapture with these words: “And so we will always be with the Lord. Therefore encourage one another with these words.”
Encourage one another. Do not terrify one another. Do not depress one another. Encourage.
The Rapture is good news. The Millennium is good news. The New Earth is good news.
Yes, we must pass through difficulty to get there. But the destination is glorious beyond imagination.

Which City Will You Serve?
We return to the question posed in my second article: Which city will you defend? Which kingdom deserves your ultimate allegiance?
Babylon or Jerusalem?
The corrupt empire or the Holy City?
Temporary wealth or eternal treasure?
Human kingdoms or God’s Kingdom?
This is not primarily about physical relocation, though for some that may be required. This is about heart allegiance. About where you invest your time, treasure, and talent. About what you live for and what you’re willing to die for.
Charlie Kirk made his choice. He chose truth over comfort, conviction over career advancement, faithfulness over safety. He died for that choice.
What will you choose?
