The Praise and Worship Band at the church I attend recently sang “Come, Jesus, Come.”
Here are the words to the Chorus:
Come, Jesus, come We’ve been waiting so long For the day You return To heal every hurt and right every wrong We need You right now Come and turn this around Deep down I know this world isn’t home Come, Jesus, come
Here are the words to the verses:
Sometimes I fall to my knees and pray Come, Jesus, come Let today be the day Sometimes I feel like I’m gonna break But I’m holding on To a hope that won’t fade
There’ll be no war And there’ll be no chains When Jesus comes Let today be the day He’ll come for the weak And the strong just the same And all will believe in the power of His name
One day He’ll come And we’ll stand face to face Come and lay it all down ‘Cause it might be today The time is right now There’s no need to wait Your past will be washed by rivers of grace
This song rings a bell with some Christians.
Some are tired of waiting for Jesus to remove (Rapture) His Church.
Some are hurting, struggling to hang on, longing for things to get better, and praying that the Rapture will happen soon.
They know that multitudes will get saved after the Rapture, and will put an end to war at His Second Coming.
They don’t want to wait any longer.
Anyway, many of the most highly acclaimed Bible prophecy teachers don’t think these Christians will have to wait much longer.
And for whatever it is worth, on Nov. 22, 2025, former Israeli Sephardic Chief Rabbi Shlomo Moshe Amar said:
Moshiach (the Messiah) is about to come.
It’s not a question or a matter of doubt.
This is not politics or policy, but actual redemption.
We are at the height of the birth pangs of Moshiach, and it is very near. It’s as clear as day. (My comment: Don’t sell your house, quit your job, sit down and wait, but here are some recent current events that seem to indicate that we are getting close.)
One, concerning a digital ID that many prophecy teachers believe will lead to the control of people and the tracking of all buying and selling: I recently saw a report that said. “Currently, there are 137 countries on board to move to a digital currency.”
It has already been reported that people in the UK will need a digital ID to work in the near future.
Understand that the Mark of the Beast is something that will go into force at the middle of the Tribulation Period.
Two, concerning Islam: on Nov. 19, 2025, Congressman Keith Self of Texas delivered a 4 min. and 48 sec. speech on the House Floor.
I believe every word is true, and very few of our leaders are speaking out.
I STRONGLY urge every reader to listen to it.
Here is a link to what this member of the U.S. Congress said.

(More: For those who are interested, here is another link to more information. This one is titled, “Texas Tax Dollars Bankrolled an Iranian Regime Propaganda Center in Houston”: https://rairfoundation.com/exposed-texas-tax-dollars-bankrolled-iranian-regime-propaganda/ .)
Three, concerning an increase in the frequency and intensity of natural disasters at the end of the age: on Nov. 20, 2025, 8-9 inches of rain (some areas got 10-12 inches) fell in six hours in Menard County, Texas.
(More: The Dallas-Fort Worth Airport recorded 3.95 inches in one day, the most ever in one day on record in that area.)
(More: On Nov. 23, 2025, a long-dormant volcano in Ethiopia erupted for the first time in thousands of years.)
Four, concerning deceit and corruption in the United Nothing (UN):
Israeli intelligence briefings show that UNRWA teachers, social workers, and administrative employees aided Hamas by storing weapons, helping move hostages, and assisting in logistical preparations for the attack, while UNRWA facilities – including schools and clinics – were used as cover for tunnel shafts, command centers, and weapons depots.
The IDF has also released documents and interrogations indicating that several UNRWA employees joined Hamas-led assault teams on October 7th or served as lookouts.
On Nov. 19, 2025, the Israeli Knesset voted 28-8 to back the first reading of legislation aimed at closing down the UNRWA in Israel because of its ties to terrorism.
If the bill passes the required number of readings, it will allow Israel to cut off the water and electricity to the two UNRWA buildings in Israel and to confiscate the land on which the buildings are located.
(My opinion: I have long believed that the U.S. should get the UN out of New York City. Why does the U.S. support the existence of an organization that allowed the capture, rape, killing, and torture of men, women, and children hostages?)
Five, concerning Iran (and possibly the Gog of Magog War): on Nov. 25, 2025, an article posted by Prophecy News Watch (PNW) says:
The threat Iran now poses is growing significantly.
Iran’s Foreign Min. said, “Iran’s missile power today far surpasses that of the 12‑Day War.”
Iran’s Defense Min. said, “Iran’s defense production has improved both in quantity and quality compared to before the 12-day Israeli-imposed war in June,” and he added that new missiles are now rolling off production lines faster than ever.”
What if Iran should load just one of these missiles with a nuclear warhead?
The window to constrain Iran’s capabilities may be rapidly closing.
Six, concerning Iran’s threats to Israel and God’s protection of Israel at the end of the age: on Nov. 20, 2025, Israel and the U.S. agreed to speed up the production of David’s Sling, Iron Dome, and new laser defense systems to be ready for the next attack.
Iran is threatening to fire 2,000 missiles and drones at Israel at the same time, and Israel and the U.S. are preparing to shoot them down.
Seven, in an excellent article that is too long for me to adequately cover in this post, on Nov. 21, 2025, White House Correspondent and author William Koenig wrote:
In a span of five days, President Donald Trump executed a series of actions that collectively elevate the United Nations, empower Islamic leaders across sectarian lines, sideline Israel, and further integrate the U.S. into an international system with troubling prophetic implications.
This is a week that many evangelical and biblically-aligned observers would say would make the Anti-Christ proud — not because Trump is the Anti-Christ, but because the sequence of events aligns with patterns of global consolidation and international control over Israel’s future.
Each action, taken alone, could be brushed aside as political maneuvering. Together, they form a clear trajectory. Koenig was referring to:
Trump’s Gaza Stabilization Plan that empowers the UN (corrupt United Nothing) in its efforts to divide and control the Promised Land of Israel.
Trump’s meeting with (and lavish praise of) Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who is insisting on the division of Israel.
Trump’s agreement to sell F-35 jets to Saudi Arabia and the Saudis’ investment of hundreds of billions of dollars (perhaps a trillion) in the U.S.
Trump’s meeting with (and lavish praise for) Iran supporter Zoran Mamdani, Mayor-Elect of New York City.
(My opinion: I agree with Koenig: the events at the White House this week appear to be a clear trajectory toward the rise of the Antichrist.)
(My opinion: Regardless of Trump’s intentions – good or bad – according to the Bible, this week was a major step toward God cursing America and dragging the nations into the Battle of Armageddon.)
Eight, concerning Trump’s recent anti-Israel actions and the possibility of God’s cursing America: here are some facts that a reader pointed out this week:
Trump has decided to protect Qatar despite the fact that Qatar is helping Hamas and Qatar has been funding antisemitism demonstrations on U.S. college campuses.
Israel was on the verge of defeating Iran, and Hamas and Trump told Israel to back off.
Trump is praising Saudi Arabia and pushing them to agree to the Abraham Accords despite the fact that Saudi Arabia is demanding the division of Israel and the creation of a Palestinian State on part of the Promised Land.
Even though Trump recognized Jerusalem as the undivided capital of Israel, Muslims are insisting that the Palestinian State have a capital in East Jerusalem.
Trump has been extremely chummy with antisemitic mayor-elect Zoran Mamdani of New York City.
(My opinion: Pres. Trump has been very supportive of Israel during his first and second administrations, but he seems to be going off track, and this is not good for Israel or America. He rightly wants peace in the Middle East, but he doesn’t seem to understand the danger of Islam, especially the fact that they believe it is okay for them to lie if it advances their cause – the destruction of Israel and creation of an Islamic world government and religion.)
Nine, concerning the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip: on Nov. 22, 2025, the Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists crossed into a no-go zone and shot at Israeli troops.
Israel retaliated the next day, killing 24 people (5 major Hamas leaders) and wounding 54.
(My comment: This is the second time in a week that something like this has happened, and it should be clear that the Iranian-backed terrorist group called Hamas does not intend to stop attacking Israel. Iran’s involvement is a prelude to the Battle of Gog of Magog.)
(My comment: Pres. Trump is saying we have peace, peace when we don’t have peace. This is the way it will be when Israel agrees to the covenant of death that begins the Tribulation Period. Israel will make lies her refuge; Isa. 28:14-15.)
Ten, concerning the ceasefire with the Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorists on Israel’s northern border: on Nov. 21, 2025, it was reported that:
Hezbollah is rebuilding its military arsenal on Israel’s northern border, and experts warn that another war between the two sides could be on the horizon.
Critics argue that the U.N. peacekeeping force, UNIFIL, is not fulfilling its mandate to disarm the terror group, and the Lebanese Armed Forces are moving too slowly, which has led to continued Israeli actions against the terrorists.
The IDF has been launching near-daily strikes against the group’s infrastructure and operatives inside Lebanon.
(My comment: This is another Iranian-backed terrorist group that is violating a ceasefire agreement, and the corrupt United Nothing is not doing anything about it.
Hezbollah is threatening to respond, and Israel is bracing for a counterattack.)
Eleven, concerning the Muslim Brotherhood: on Nov. 23, 2025, it was reported that:
Pres. Trump will soon designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization.
Trump said the “final documents are being drawn” and that the designation “will be done in the strongest and most powerful terms.”
(My opinion: This is a major step forward, but it should be just a first step. Much more needs to be done if he wants to Make America Great Again.)
(Update: On Nov. 24, 2025, Pres. Trump signed an Executive Order directing the Sec. of State and the Sec. of Treasury to produce a report in 30 days to formally designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. Then, the White House will have 45 days to implement their report.)
(Update: On Nov. 25, it was reported that Trump’s Executive Order will go after just some, not all of the Muslim Brotherhood chapters, and it will leave some of the richest, most powerful and dangerous chapters and subchapters alone. The facts will probably come out in 75 days.)
Twelve, on Nov. 24, 2025, it was reported that Hamas said it has recovered the remains of another Israeli hostage.
If true, all of the hostages have been released, and the remains of all but two of the hostages have been released.
FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go to Hell because we sin), but God has provided a way (Jesus) for everyone to go to Heaven (and He is the only way to get there; John 14:6).
Finally, are you Rapture Ready?
If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God, who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.

2 Timothy 4:8
Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.
Maranatha!
I find it helpful these days to picture how I believe Jesus will look when He returns. Not as the mild-mannered, white-toga-wearing, softly airbrushed type shown in religious art, but as a warrior king, fully armed and astride a massive white horse.
Personal opinion is that He will return with an army, not a choir. Perhaps the Host of Heaven will include the soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen who fell in the line of duty while they were on Earth.
When Jesus came to earth the first time, it was as the sacrificial lamb. The second time Jesus comes to the earth it will indeed be as the warrior King, with the armies of Heaven right behind him.
Like the old poster... Jesus is coming and boy, is he pissed.
ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Revelation 22:20 NKJV
He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.”
Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
2 Timothy 4:8 NKJV
Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.
While we desire Him to come immediately, this is not going to happen. The signs He gave us of His appearing must come first. Until they do, we must endure hardships and wait patiently.
Luke 17:22 NKJV
Then He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.”
James 5:7-8 NKJV
Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting with patience until it receives the early and latter rain. You also be patient; establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
The “early and latter rain” James is referring to are the Spring and Fall seasons of crop harvesting. These are depicted in the seven feasts God gave to Israel:
Spring Feasts (Christ's first coming)
1. Passover: Symbolizes Jesus as the Passover lamb, whose blood was shed for humanity's sins.
2. Feast of Unleavened Bread: Represents Jesus’ sinless life and His burial, a reminder for Christians to live a life free from the “leaven” of sin.
3. Feast of Firstfruits: Points to Jesus’ resurrection, where He was the “firstfruits” of those who would be resurrected.
4. Feast of Weeks (Pentecost): Signifies the outpouring of the Holy Spirit to the early Church, empowering believers.
Fall Feasts (Christ's second coming)
5. Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah): Prophetically points to the rapture of believers and the return of Jesus, marked by the sound of trumpets. (This is the only feast that begins at a new moon and therefore the day and hour when it begins are unknown until witnessing the “sign” of the new moon.)
6. Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur): Foreshadows the national repentance of Israel and her being permanently and finally restored to God. They will, as Zechariah prophecied, "look on Me whom they pierced," and mourn with repentance. (This is part of the promise of Daniel's seventieth week.)
7. Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot): Commemorates God's provision, protection, and deliverance.
Comparing the Olivet Discourse in Matthew, Mark, and Luke with the Seal Judgments of Revelation, I believe that the final sign of Christ's coming is the sign in the Heavens of a simultaneous solar and lunar eclipse, accompanied by a cataclysmic, worldwide meteor shower.
Revelation 6:12-14 NKJV
I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place.
After this is the rapture, the national repentance and restoration of Israel, and the commemoration of God's provision and protection as the uncountable multitude in Heaven (“tribulation saints” as they're often called) worshiping “with palm branches in their hands”, as is done in the seventh feast. This is the context, I believe, of Revelation 7.
Revelation 7:9-10 NKJV
After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”
