1) Per Tucker Carlson, I have a brain virus because I support Israel. Who could have imagined such an accusation? As a self-proclaimed Christian, Tucker surely doesn’t know the Bible, which is as pro-Israel as you can get! “He that keeps Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps.” (Psalm 121:4) Nor does he understand the word “irrevocable” (Romans 11:29), which tells us God keeps His promises (to the Jews).
2) I never thought that I would get worn out, exhausted, and depleted from warning the clueless that time is running out. This is a new level of delusional thinking that life will only get better despite all the biblical warnings. It’s all falling apart, folks, so that last day’s issues can fall into place! Happy days are only in eternity.
3) The fact that we keep celebrating evil is mind-blowing and the essence of perilous times: Israel’s October 7 and the election of a radical—Zohran Mamdani as NY City Mayor. It’s beyond our imagination. First we cheered for Hamas and now for Mamdani. Why do we keep having sympathy for the devil? I had hoped that died with the Rolling Stones. How will Mamdani honor the 25th anniversary of 9/11 next year? Does this bother anybody else?
4) I never thought I would see, and I can’t understand, why most churches stayed silent after October 7, but those same churches were silent after Charlie Kirk was assassinated in September of this year. What gives? Why will pulpits today not take a stand?
5) A violent school shooting—Annunciation Catholic School—transpired last August, a few miles from where I grew up in Minneapolis. The takeaway, sadly, was that no one should exercise “thoughts and prayers.” Not that blue cities like mine don’t work and that they draw criminals like a magnet. But that prayers were a worthless waste of time. Who could have imagined such a twisted conclusion? What a sign of the times! The predicted mockery is displayed.
6) I didn’t think I would live to see antisemitism become normalized and even celebrated post-WW2. Zohran Mamdani won his mayoral election because he hated Jews. It is the new normal. Will this drive more Jews to Israel? You can count on it. Once again, they are running for their lives because there is only one safe haven for them. That is how God designed it.
7) I couldn’t imagine the day when hundreds of thousands of Christians would be slaughtered in parts of Africa, and I would have to hunt for details. Why does no one care that over 200,000 have been killed? Since the victims weren’t Palestinians, I guess no one cared. No Jews, no news.
8) I still can’t believe that a new study from George Barna’s Cultural Research Center reveals that millions of Americans no longer see many behaviors once considered sinful as wrong at all. In short, the very definition of sin is being rewritten. Mankind has become its own priest, pastor, prophet, and moral authority, and all are doing what is right in their own eyes. (Judges 17:6; Deut.12:8).
9) I didn’t think I would see the fulfillment of the red-green alliance—Islam and Marxism merging in my lifetime. Forget New York, my hometown, Minneapolis, barely dodged another Islamic mayoral victory. Our “Little Mogadishu” hosts almost 100,000 Muslims here in town and elects and celebrates Ilhan Omar. Twenty-four years after 9/11, the country is saying “Allah Akbar” in too many places. How about the global shia Islamic center now open in Houston? How have we allowed this? My friend, Phil Haney, warned us but he was mysteriously bumped off right after I met with him in 2021. Did you notice Al Qaeda made it into the White House on November 10?
10) And I never thought I would see prophecy conferences across America and the world close one-by-one. Covid did terrible damage and brought mine to an end a few years ago. But they continue to fall due to lack of interest, age of attendees, and the fact that so few comprehend the lateness of the hour so attendance has been sinking!
So, these are just ten points in my latest list of things I didn’t expect to see! But one thing never changes: the fact that Jesus is coming again and we must not be silent. Somebody’s eternity depends on it.
In John 16:20-24, there was chaos, and the world rejoiced at the death of Jesus, just like the world rejoices at the evil today. Yet, there will come a time when people will rejoice because of God’s glorious promises coming to pass. The world is gloriously dark now because we are being prepared for the glorious Son of God who will bring great light. .
11) I never thought I’d see Vanderbilt ranked and with only 2 losses this late in the season.
Agree. Sickening. We live in hideous times.
Using rainbow flags in state and county courthouses, never.
Border broken, never
Covid communism never.
Weak pulpits...eh yes
Jew hate worldwide, prophecied
Islam in the US? We’ve been normalizing this since 1979.
Socialism is the only way people can see after four years of being institutionalized.
Children no learnning. Again they were insitutonalized for years.
Our leaders dumber than a rock. People always knew but this is a new level of stupid. New level of corruption
No one speaks about China the red menace but they have their tentacles everywhere, thus normalizing communism. Normalizing having nothing. Normalizing for the greater good.
And psychologists with their programs normalizing MY TRUTH...moral relativism. It is what it is.
What a sign of the times! The predicted mockery is displayed.
Strange times, indeed. And no Michigan or Penn State at the top of the rankings, with Alabama struggling to stay in the playoff run.
It’s a welcome sight, to my old eyes.
Indiana unbeaten and ranked Number 2.
Our pastor at Church of the Cross in Orlando scrapped his sermon and preached instead about Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
Before Cignetti, the last coach at Indiana who had a record over .500 last coached in 1947! And they’ve won a whopping 3 bowl games in their entire history, the last coming in 1991!
Glad you posted this.
Just an aside. It’s interesting that a writer for a publication called Harbingers Daily didn’t see this stuff coming. Maybe Harbingers is somebody’s name?
What would things look like if Satan really took control of a city? Over a half century ago, Presbyterian ministry Donald Grey Barnhouse [of Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, PA] offered his own scenario in his weekly sermon that was also broadcast nationwide on CBS radio.
Barnhouse speculated that if Satan took over Philadelphia all of the bars would be closed, pornography banished, and pristine streets would be filled with tidy pedestrians who smiled at each other. There would be no swearing. The children would say, “Yes, sir” and “No, ma’am,” and the churches would be full every Sunday…where Christ is not preached.
Very interesting. I have always believed that if there was no Christ or resurrection that it would be hell on earth. But that’s a provocative pov and I totally get what the preacher was getting at. Basically, Christ is freedom and Satan’s ways are like flaming milestone on our heads.

“Per Tucker Carlson, I have a brain virus because I support Israel.”
Starts off with a blatant lie. Carlson did not say that. He got into a philosophical discussion of how some Christians believe Biblical verses in Genesis should constrain American policy toward Israel — having to do with the “chosen people” concept. Carlson said Christians are chosen.
There is, after all, no special ethnicity set aside in the New Testament, “there is neither Greek nor Jew, neither male nor female.”
Many generations have made similar lists of “the signs” for centuries.
The suffocation of the righteous pastor's speech is brought about by the taxation of personal income, alleviated by one's religious charitable deductions, but only if the pulpit takes no sides on political issues. If a pastor speaks out, the income deductions of his congregants are discounted, and selfish supporters leave his flock.
No man can serve two masters, according to Jesus; and money is the root of evilaccording to paul's counel to his student Timothy. But when a pastor's speech, public or private, is tempered by trying to please bot God and the politician because of the threat of losing a contributing member, the cause is lost,
(I know, because I grew up as a PK, a preacher's kid.)
Agree regarding tolerance of evil. Lot in Sodom a good example.
The church of Laodecia is a slow burn on immorality. Silence from the pulpits is allowing immorality in the door.
America as a whole is suffering because of this and most preachers cant afford to lose the tithes so here we are. Lukewarm and dying overall.
“No man can serve two masters, according to Jesus; and money is the root of evilaccording to paul’s counel to his student Timothy. But when a pastor’s speech, public or private, is tempered by trying to please bot God and the politician because of the threat of losing a contributing member, the cause is lost,”
