What Jesus is Saying to His Church on October 15, 2025?

Signs of Our Time

“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” - Revelation 3:22

The Question That Demands an Answer

Today is October 15, 2025. On this precise day in history, what is Jesus Christ saying to His Church? Not what was He saying 2,000 years ago. Not what will He say when He returns. But what is He declaring RIGHT NOW to those who claim His name?

As amateur biblical detectives, we must examine the evidence laid before us—both in Scripture and in the world events unfolding at this very moment. The clues are everywhere for those with eyes to see.

The Charlie Kirk Catalyst: Wheat and Tares Revealed

On September 10, 2025 - just over one month ago - conservative activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated while speaking at Utah Valley University. A 22-year-old man named Tyler Robinson shot him in the neck from 142 yards away. Kirk died within hours.

What happened next revealed something profound about the American church.

At Kirk’s memorial service on September 21, President Donald Trump said something shocking: “Charlie did not hate his opponents. He wanted the best for them. That’s where I disagreed with Charlie. I hate my opponent, and I don’t want the best for them.”

Let that sink in. At a memorial service. A confession of hatred. From a man whom millions of Christians have hitched their spiritual wagons to.

And Cardinal Timothy Dolan of the Catholic Church likened Kirk to “a modern-day Saint Paul.”

This assassination didn’t just reveal a murderer. It revealed the mixture within the church. It exposed who has truly merged their faith with political power, national identity, and human governance - exactly what Jesus warned against in Revelation 2-3.

The wheat and the tares are being separated. The question is: Which are you?

-----

The Watchers and the Mockers: Two Different Groups

Just days before Kirk’s assassination, on September 23-24, thousands of Christians were watching for the possible Harpazo (Rapture) during the Feast of Trumpets. South African pastor Joshua Mhlakela had shared a vision he believed was from the Lord about believers being taken during this feast.

Social media exploded with RaptureTok. Some believers quit jobs. Sold cars. Made final preparations. The world watched.

September 25 dawned. We were still here.

Pastor Mhlakela recalculated - perhaps it was the calendar difference between Gregorian and Julian. October 6-7, he said.

October 8 arrived. Still here.

And the world laughed.

“POV: You didn’t get raptured and now you have to get ready for work.”

The mockers multiplied. The scoffers rejoiced.

But here’s what we need to understand: There are two completely different groups in this story.

Group 1: The Faithful Watchers

These are believers who:

- Are OBEYING Jesus’ command to WATCH (Matthew 24:42, Mark 13:33-37, Luke 21:36)

- Study Scripture and understand prophetic patterns

- Know we’re in the season of His return

- Watch the Feast of Trumpets (a two-day feast called “the day no one knows” because it depends on moon sighting)

- Understand the Jewish wedding idiom where the bride must be READY and WATCHING

- May have been wrong about specific timing, but were RIGHT to be watching

Group 2: The Mockers and Scoffers

Peter prophesied about these: “In the last days scoffers will come, walking after their own lusts, saying, ‘Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.’” (2 Peter 3:3-4)

The presence of mockers CONFIRMS we’re in the last days.

But here’s the critical distinction: Jesus never warned against watching for His return. In fact, He COMMANDED it repeatedly.

What Jesus said was: “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.” (Matthew 24:36)

“Day and hour” - not week, not season, not feast period. The Feast of Trumpets spans TWO DAYS because of new moon sighting. To watch expectantly during this feast is not “date setting” - it’s Biblical obedience.

The Jewish Wedding Pattern

When a father told his son “no one knows the day or hour except the father,” it meant:

- The father would decide when the bridegroom could go get his bride

- The bridegroom had to be READY and WATCHING

- The bride had to be READY and WATCHING

- They knew the SEASON - they just didn’t know the exact moment

- The bride who wasn’t watching would be left behind (five foolish virgins)

So were the watchers wrong to watch expectantly for Feast of Trumpets 2025?

NO. They were obedient. They were ready. They had their lamps filled with oil.

The real question is: Why did nothing happen when so many signs pointed to this season?

-----

The Calendar Mystery: Are We 32 Days “Behind”?

Recently, Biblical researcher CJ Lovik (RockIslandBooks) uncovered something extraordinary that may explain the timing issue.

The Julian Calendar Problem:

- 46 BC: Julius Caesar established the Julian calendar (365.25 days/year)

- Problem: It overestimated by 0.0078 days per year

- Over 1,000 years: Accumulated ~8 extra days

- 1582 AD: Pope Gregory XIII created the Gregorian calendar to fix it

- They removed 11 days to correct forward from 1582

But here’s the issue: The Gregorian correction only fixed dates going FORWARD. It never corrected the accumulated error from Creation to 1582.

From the Flood (~2348 BC) to present = ~4,100 years

4,100 years × 0.0078 days/year = ~32 days of accumulated error

What this means: Every historical date we calculate using the Julian/Gregorian calendar may be off by approximately 32 days from God’s perfect astronomical calendar.

Applied to NOW:

- October 15, 2025 (Gregorian) + 32 days = Mid-November 2025 on God’s calendar

- We may actually be 32 days “behind” where we think we are

Applied to Feast of Trumpets 2025:

- September 23-24 (Gregorian) + 32 days = Late October 2025 on God’s calendar

- The watchers weren’t wrong - they may have been EARLY by exactly one calendar cycle

This doesn’t mean we can calculate a new date. It means we’re IN the season right now.

The 7-day warning pattern from Noah (Genesis 7:4,10) suggests a brief window between divine announcement and fulfillment. We may be IN that window.

Daniel 9:26: The Hidden Rapture Prophecy

CJ Lovik’s research revealed something that has been hidden in Daniel 9:26 for 2,500 years.

Traditional English translation:

“After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be cut off and will have nothing.”

That phrase “will have nothing” has confused translators for centuries because it doesn’t fit grammatically or contextually.

The Hebrew text reveals:

(v’ein lo)

But the fuller phrase includes:(v’ein v’nefesh)

(vav) = “And”
(ein) = “Vanished, is not, disappeared”
(vav) = “And”
(nefesh) = “Life, living being, soul”

Where else do we see this exact phrase?

Genesis 5:24 - Enoch’s Rapture: “Enoch walked with God; then he was no more (v’einennu), because God took him away.”

The word (ein) = “vanished, was not there”

Enoch didn’t die. He vanished. He was raptured!

The Stunning Revelation:

Daniel 9:26 should read: “After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be cut off [crucified], and the redeemed will vanish.”

Or more fully: “Messiah will be cut off, and afterward, those redeemed by Messiah will vanish alive.”

The Rapture is encoded in Daniel 9:26

Hidden for 2,500 years. Mistranslated because translators in the 17th century:

- Didn’t believe Israel would be reborn as a nation

- Didn’t have the eschatological framework to see it

- Couldn’t imagine a pre-tribulation rapture doctrine

Daniel 12:4, 9: “But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end.”

“Until the time of the end” - NOW. This generation. This season.

The unsealing is happening now. Understanding is being revealed to those who are watching and digging.

-----

The 77-Year Pattern: Jacob’s Trouble

Biblical patterns point to significant timing:

Jacob’s Life (Genesis 29-30):

- Age 77: Begins working for Rachel (love of his life)
- Tricked into marrying Leah first
- Works 7 more years for Rachel
- Age 84: Finally receives Rachel, his true bride
- Soon after: Name changed from Jacob to Israel

77 + 7 = 84

Applied Prophetically:

- 1948 AD: Israel reborn (like Jacob becoming Israel)

- 1948 + 77 years = 2025 AD - Beginning of Jacob’s Trouble

- 2025 + 7 years = 2032 AD - End of Tribulation, Messiah’s Kingdom

We are living in year 77 from Israel’s rebirth.

The number 84 appears throughout Scripture as the “completion after tribulation” number:

- 84 months in the 7-year Tribulation (12 months × 7 years)

- 2,520 days ÷ 30 days/month = 84 months

- Enoch’s name in Hebrew gematria = 84

- 84 years from decree to decree (539 BC to 455 BC)

We are IN the prophetic window.

Peace in the Middle East: Trump’s Glory or God’s Glory?

Three days ago, on October 13, President Trump stood in Egypt surrounded by more than 20 world leaders and signed what he’s calling the “Trump Declaration for Enduring Peace and Prosperity.”

He declared before the world: “We’ve achieved what everybody said was impossible — at long last, we have peace in the Middle East.”

Trump addressed the Israeli Knesset hours earlier, declaring “a new dawn in the Middle East” and saying the Gaza war was over. Prime Minister Netanyahu called Trump Israel’s “greatest friend” ever in the White House.

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said Trump is “genuinely a man of peace” and announced Pakistan had nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.

The world is giving Trump the glory.

But let’s ask the Biblical detective question: Who brings peace to the Middle East according to Scripture?

Daniel 9:27 speaks of a prince who “confirms a covenant with many for one week” (seven years).

1 Thessalonians 5:3 warns: “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.”

We’re not saying Trump IS the Antichrist. We’re asking a more penetrating question:

Why is the American church more excited about Trump’s peace deal than about Jesus’ return?

Why are churches filled with “Make America Great Again” more than “Maranatha - Come Lord Jesus”?

Why do we trust political solutions more than we trust Christ’s imminent return?

This is Laodicean mixture - trusting in human power and political victory while Christ stands outside knocking.

-----

Wars and Rumors of Wars: The World on Fire

While Trump signs peace agreements, the world spirals toward greater conflict.

Ukraine: The war has entered “an even more dangerous stage,” according to UN human rights chief Volker Türk. Russia continues advancing daily. Putin warns that US supply of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine would mark “a completely new stage of escalation” - possibly World War III. More than 790,000 Russians and 400,000 Ukrainians are confirmed killed or wounded.

China: Economic collapse accelerating. Youth unemployment exceeded 20% before China stopped publishing data. Foreign investment collapsed. Debt-to-GDP ratios exceed 180%, possibly 300%. As China weakens economically, tensions over Taiwan escalate. Military analysts warn China’s “closing window” - demographic decline, economic stagnation, political rigidity - may push Beijing toward desperate action. A Taiwan invasion would “shut down the world” economically.

The world stands on the brink. One miscalculation could ignite global war.

Jesus said: “You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” (Matthew 24:6)

Are we troubled? Or are we trusting Christ alone?

-----

The Earth Groans: Earthquakes Everywhere

On October 10, 2025, seismic activity reached MODERATE levels globally with 2 earthquakes magnitude 7.0+, 88 earthquakes magnitude 4.0+, and 853 total earthquakes recorded in 24 hours.

A magnitude 6.9 earthquake struck near the Philippines. Earthquakes continue rattling the Pacific Ring of Fire daily.

Paul wrote: “For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pains together until now.” (Romans 8:22)

Creation itself testifies that something is coming. The birth pains are intensifying.

-----

Signs in the Heavens: Comets This Week

Two newly discovered comets are streaking across Earth’s sky RIGHT NOW:

Comet SWAN (C/2025 R2):

- Makes closest approach to Earth on October 20 - five days from now

- Coming within 24 million miles

Comet Lemmon (C/2025 A6):

- Swings within 55 million miles on October 21 - six days from now

Both comets have long-period orbits of 200+ years, meaning they’ve spent most of their existence at the frigid edge of our solar system in the Oort Cloud.

Why are they appearing now, in THIS week?

Jesus said: “There will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.” (Luke 21:25-26)

These aren’t “signs” that we should set exact dates. They’re reminders to look up. Our redemption draws near.

-----

Revelation 2-3: Jesus’ Message to the Church RIGHT NOW

With all this evidence before us, let’s return to what Jesus actually said to the seven churches. His words aren’t ancient history. They’re a living message for the church at the end of the age.

To the Church Mixed with Politics (Laodicea)

“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’ — and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked.” (Revelation 3:15-17)

Does this not describe much of the American evangelical church? Politically powerful, economically prosperous, culturally influential - yet spiritually bankrupt?

“I am rich” = We have political access, mega-churches, Christian media empires

“I have need of nothing” = We trust in MAGA, military might, and national greatness

Actual condition: “wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked” = Christ is outside the building, knocking

Jesus continues: “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.” (Revelation 3:20)

JESUS IS ON THE OUTSIDE OF HIS OWN CHURCH, KNOCKING TO BE LET BACK IN.

How did we get here? By mixing Christ with:

- Politics (partisan loyalty over Kingdom citizenship)
- Psychology (self-help over dying to self)
- Economics (prosperity gospel over sacrificial faith)
- Nationalism (America First over Kingdom First)

This is Babylon. This is Jezebel. This is exactly what Jesus told five of the seven churches to repent of.

To the Sleeping Church (Sardis)

“Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before God. Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you.” (Revelation 3:2-3)

WAKE UP.

WATCH.

REMEMBER.

REPENT.

These aren’t suggestions. They’re commands.

Notice: Jesus rebukes the church that is NOT watching. The church that sleeps through the signs.

To the Suffering Church (Smyrna)

“I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.” (Revelation 2:9-10)

No rebuke. Only encouragement to remain faithful in suffering.

The church that suffers for Christ receives no correction. The church that’s comfortable receives stern warning.

To the Weak But Faithful Church (Philadelphia)

“I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name… 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.” (Revelation 3:8, 10)

“Little strength” = Weak by human standards, powerful in God’s eyes

“Kept My word” = Didn’t compromise Scripture for cultural acceptance

“Did not deny My name” = Remained loyal when it cost them

Promise: “I will keep you from the hour of trial”

The Greek word is (ek) - meaning “out of, from” - not through it, but removed from it entirely.

This is the faithful remnant. Small. Weak. Faithful. Watching. Ready.

-----

The Peter Moment: “Command Me to Come”

In Matthew 14, Peter saw Jesus walking on water during a storm. He didn’t just jump out of the boat on presumption. He asked:

“Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.”

Jesus said one word: “Come.”

Peter stepped out and walked on water - defying natural law through supernatural faith. But when he looked at the wind and waves (the circumstances), he began to sink.

Where are we today?

The storm is raging:

- Wars escalating
- Economies collapsing
- Earth groaning with earthquakes
- Comets streaking across the sky THIS WEEK
- The church divided between wheat and tares
- Mockers multiplying
- Faithful watchers watching expectantly
- Political idolatry revealed
- Calendar mysteries being unsealed
- We’re 77 years from Israel’s rebirth
- We may be in the 7-day Noah warning period

The boat (human systems) appears safer than the water (faith in Christ alone).

But Jesus is saying the same thing He said to Peter: “Come.”

Are we asking Him to command us? Or are we clinging to:

- Political solutions
- Economic security
- National power
- Religious reputation
- Cultural influence

These are all going down with the boat.

Jesus is calling us to step out onto impossible water - to trust Him ALONE, to walk by faith not sight, to keep our eyes fixed on Him regardless of circumstances.

-----

The Days of Noah: Only a Remnant Will Be Ready

Jesus said: “As the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.” (Matthew 24:37-39)

Key phrase: “DID NOT KNOW.”

They were unaware. Ordinary life continued. Only Noah’s family - eight people out of the entire world - were watching and ready.

The remnant was tiny.

The Noah Pattern - 7 Days Warning

Genesis 7:1-4: “Then the LORD said to Noah, ‘Enter the ark, you and all your household, for you alone I have seen to be righteous before me in this generation… Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights.’”

Genesis 7:10: “And after the seven days the floodwaters came on the earth.”

Noah entered the ark 7 days before the flood began.

Could we be in that 7-day window right now? Between divine announcement (Feast of Trumpets watch) and fulfillment?

Matthew 24:37-38: “As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.”

The pattern repeats.

-----

The Separation is NOW

Matthew 25 describes the sheep/goat separation of nations - that comes later. But the separation within the church is happening RIGHT NOW.

Charlie Kirk’s assassination revealed it. Some mourned a martyr for Christ. Others mourned a martyr for MAGA. The difference matters.

The Feast of Trumpets watch revealed it. Some are faithful watchers obeying Jesus’ command. Others mock and scoff, fulfilling 2 Peter 3:3-4.

Trump’s peace deal reveals it. Some rejoice that human power achieved peace. Others recognize that true peace only comes through the Prince of Peace.

The wheat and tares look similar. But harvest is coming.

Jesus said: “Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, ‘First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.’” (Matthew 13:30)

The revealing is accelerating. The exposure is intensifying. The hour is late.

-----

What is Jesus Saying to His Church on October 15, 2025?

Based on everything we’ve excavated - Scripture, world events, calendar mysteries, signs in the heavens and earth - here is Jesus’ message to His Church today:

1. KEEP WATCHING (Matthew 24:42, Mark 13:33-37) Don’t stop watching because the timing was off. The command remains. Watch even MORE intently. We may be in the Noah 7-day window RIGHT NOW.

2. REMEMBER (Ephesus, Sardis) You’ve abandoned your first love. You’ve forgotten the pure gospel. Remember what you’ve received. Return to radical dependence on Christ ALONE.

3. REPENT (All five mixed churches)

Repent of:

- Political idolatry (trusting in human power)

- Economic idolatry (prosperity gospel)

- Cultural compromise (accepting what Scripture condemns)

- Self-governance (living independent of His lordship)

- Tolerance of Jezebel (allowing false teaching)

- Mocking the watchers (scoffing at those who obey the command to watch)

4. RETURN (Ephesus) Do the first works. Return to intimate relationship with Jesus. Return to the Word as absolute authority. Return to faith that walks on water.

5. REMAIN FAITHFUL (Smyrna) Be faithful unto death. Don’t fear suffering. The crown of life awaits. The hour of trial is coming - remain faithful.

6. RESIST (Pergamum, Thyatira) Stop tolerating false teachers. Rebuke mixture. Resist compromise. Don’t accept the “deep things” that aren’t from God.

7. COME OUT (Revelation 18:4) “Come out of her, my people.” Exit Babylon. Leave the systems that blend Christ with world. Come out of political Christianity. Come out of prosperity religion. Come out of cultural compromise.

8. COME TO JESUS (Matthew 14:29) Answer His invitation. Step out of the boat. Walk on water. Trust Him with everything. Keep your eyes on Him alone.

9. LOOK UP (Luke 21:28) Two comets arrive THIS WEEK (October 20-21). Not to set dates, but to remind us: “When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

-----

The Bottom Line

If you’re reading this on October 15, 2025, you have a choice to make.

You can stay in the boat - trusting in politics, economics, national power, religious systems, and human solutions. The boat feels safer. Everyone else is there. But the boat is going down.

Or you can answer Jesus’ call: “COME.”

Step onto impossible water. Walk by faith. Trust Him alone. Join the remnant - the wheat, not the tares - who are watching and ready.

The signs are everywhere:

- World on the brink of war

- Middle East peace that rings hollow

- Church divided and exposed

- Earthquakes increasing

- Two comets arriving THIS WEEK (October 20-21)

- Mockers multiplying exactly as prophesied

- Faithful watchers obeying Jesus’ command to watch

- 77 years since Israel’s rebirth (2025)

- Possible 32-day calendar correction - we’re IN the window

- Daniel 9:26 unsealed - the Rapture prophecy revealed

- Noah’s 7-day pattern - are we in it NOW?

- Christ outside His own church, knocking

“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”

Do you hear Him?

The question isn’t “when will He return?” The question is “will He find you faithful - and WATCHING - when He does?”

-----

Prayer for the Remnant Watchers

Father, we thank You for those who are faithfully watching and waiting. They have been mocked. They have been ridiculed. They have been called “date setters” when they were simply obeying Your Son’s command to WATCH.

Vindicate Your watchers. Strengthen them. Keep them vigilant. Let them not grow weary in watching.

For the rest of us - forgive us. We’ve mixed Your truth with lies. We’ve trusted in human systems more than in You. We’ve been lukewarm when You called us to be on fire. Some of us have mocked those who watch when we should have been watching with them.

Awaken us. Separate us from mixture. Make us wheat, not tares. Give us eyes to see and ears to hear what Your Spirit is saying RIGHT NOW - in this very week.

We’re asking like Peter: Lord, if it’s You, COMMAND US TO COME TO YOU. Give us faith to step out of the boat. Give us courage to trust You alone. Give us endurance to remain faithful unto death. And above all - keep us WATCHING.

Come, Lord Jesus. We’re watching. We’re waiting. We’re ready. Even so, come. Maranatha.

Amen.

“Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season? Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing.” (Matthew 24:44-46)

“Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.” (Matthew 25:13)

The faithful watchers are blessed. The mockers are fulfilling prophecy. The remnant is watching.

Are you?
