Recent Events Confirm The End Of The Age Is Near:

Recent Current Events That Indicate The End Of The Age Is Close

I ask you to forgive me if this introduction is a repeat, but God has blessed me with a long life and allowed me to write so many articles, speak in so many different states and so many different denominations, that it has become difficult for me to remember what I have written or said when or where.

I don’t want to bore you with a repeat, but God allowed me to prepare the following list several years ago, and I want to be sure I passed it on.

The Bible reveals:

One nation that will come back into being in one day: Israel (May 14, 1948).

One nation that will be divided: Israel (and the two-state solution will divide Israel).

One nation that cannot be defeated: Israel (several nations have tried and failed).

One nation that will be hated by all nations: Israel (and there have been more UN resolutions against Israel than any other nation on earth).

One nation that will have trees again: Israel (and it has).

One nation that vultures will return to: Israel (and they have).

One nation that the animals will return to: Israel (and they have).

One nation that will have an increase in rain: Israel (and it has).

One nation that will abide many days without a king and a sacrifice: Israel (and it has).

One nation that will return in unbelief: Israel (and the Jews have been blinded).

One nation that will have a pure language: Israel (and all citizens are required to learn Hebrew).

One nation where the plowman will overtake the reaper: Israel (and the farmers are double cropping).

One nation that will dominate the descendants of Esau: Israel (and the Arabs have not been able to bring Israel down.).

One thing that the Gates of Hell will not prevail against: The Church (and true believers still exist).

One city that will be rebuilt: Babylon (and there has been some, but not much construction at ancient Babylon).

One city that will be a cup of trembling and a burdensome stone for the whole world: Jerusalem (and it is).

One gate that won’t be opened until Jesus returns: The Eastern Gate (and it is closed).

One river that will dry up: The Euphrates (and seven dams have been built on it).

One thing that will go all over the world: the gospel (and it is, but there is more to come with the Two Witnesses, the 144,000, and an angel).

One building that will be rebuilt: The Temple (and the architectural plans, materials list, clothing, musical instruments, etc. are complete).

One group of nations that will come back into being: The old Roman Empire (and that’s the EU).

One covenant that will be confirmed (strengthened by the Antichrist): a peace treaty (and world leaders are working on one).

One person that cannot be revealed while the church is here: The Antichrist (and he hasn’t been revealed).

One thing that will increase at the end of the age: iniquity (and immorality is exploding).

One thing that will decrease at the end of the age: the love of many (and many have stopped attending worship services).

One book that will be sealed up until the time of the end: The Book of Daniel (it is a little fuzzy, but current events are making it easier to understand).

One non-human thing that will speak: a statue of the Antichrist (Scientists are making robots that speak).

One religious practice that will resume at the end of the age: animal sacrifices (Priests have been trained to do this).

One thing that the wicked won’t understand at the end of the age: current events (because they reject what the Bible says: Dan. 12:10).

One thing that will be speeded up at the end of the age: travel (we now have planes and vehicles).

One thing that the world cannot have until Jesus returns: peace (wars and rumors of wars are a constant problem).

One thing that the world cannot understand: the things of God (because they are spiritually discerned; I Cor. 2:14).

One being that won’t be bound until the Second Coming of Jesus: Satan (he is alive and well on planet Earth today).

Only God could know that all these specific signs would happen at the end of the age.

He told the world in the Bible that they would happen.

He told His people to watch for them and we could know when the day of His return is near.

God has spoken, and many know it.

Here are recent current events that seem to indicate that the end of the age is close.

One, last week, I reported that:

• On Mar. 30, 2025, Turkey’s Pres. Erdogan called for the destruction of Israel.
• On Apr. 1, 2025, Turkey and Syria signed an agreement for Turkey to take over an airbase in Syria and provide air cover and military protection for Syria’s new government.

On Apr. 2, 2025, Israel launched massive airstrikes on several Syrian military airports and bases.

I24 News said, “The Israeli strikes in Syria, both acknowledged and unacknowledged, are intended to convey a message to Turkey: Do not establish a military base in the country and do not interfere with Israeli activity in the country’s skies.”

On Apr. 3, 2025, Israel’s Defense Min. warned Syria’s President Ahmad al-Sharaa in a statement: “If you allow forces hostile to Israel to enter Syria and endanger Israeli security interests – you will pay a very heavy price. The Air Force’s activity is a warning to the future – we will not allow the security of the State of Israel to be harmed.”

(My comment: The Bible tells us that Turkish forces will enter Syria with forces from Russia, Iran, and others in the latter years and latter days.).

Two, concerning Israel being surrounded by enemies at the end of the age (and perhaps a Psa. 83 war): on Apr. 2, 2025, the All Israel News staff reported that an Israeli official said:

• Egypt has deployed forces beyond the permitted quota, expanded port facilities, and extended runways at airports.
• Israel will not accept the situation and will not tolerate violations (of its 1979 peace treaty with Egypt) from Cairo.

(My comment: God promised that Israel cannot be destroyed. Many Christians all over the world are praying for Israel. Egypt’s powerful military may not last much longer.)

Three, concerning an increase in the frequency and intensity of natural disasters at the end of the age:

• On Apr. 2, 2025, AccuWeather’s chief meteorologist said up to four months’ worth of rain will fall in five days along portions of a 1,000-mile-long swath from Texas to Ohio. People who have lived in a community their entire lives may see water rapidly rising and flooding areas they have never seen flood before. Do not assume that if you have not seen flooding in an area before, it will not occur this time.
• On Apr. 2, 2025, it was reported that unheard-of 18-ft waves crashed into beaches in Sydney, Australia.

(Update: On Apr. 4, 2025, it was reported that at least 16 people have been killed by the storms, flooding, and tornadoes from Texas to Ohio. On Apr. 6, 2025, it was reported that most areas have received 8-16 inches of rain, but some areas have received up to 21 inches of rain, and wind gusts of 65-75 mph.)

(Update: On Apr. 8, 2025, it was reported that the death toll has reached 23.)

Four, concerning wars and rumors of wars at the end of the age: on Apr. 2, 2025, the Foreign Min. of France said war with Iran is almost inevitable if Iran fails to restart nuclear talks.

(More: On Apr. 4, 2025, it was reported that former Vice-Pres. Mike Pence said Trump is ready to attack Iran if necessary.)

(My opinion: The U.S. has already deployed forces to the Middle East. Iran said it will retaliate if the U.S. and/or Israel attacks their nation. Iran’s retaliation could lead to the long-expected Battle of Gog and Magog in the latter years and latter days. Time will tell.)

(More: On Apr. 6, 2025, it was reported that the U.S. recently deployed more anti-missile systems to Israel (a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery and two Patriot batteries.)

(More: On Apr. 6, 2025, it was reported that Iran has put its military on full alert.)

(More: On Apr. 6, 2025, Israel released recently captured solid evidence – transcripts and intercepted documents found in tunnels – that Iran was giving millions of dollars to Hamas to destroy Israel. Iran and her corrupt allies in the UN can no longer legitimately claim that Iran was not involved in this war.)

(More: On Apr. 7, 2025, following a meeting with Israeli Prime Min. Netanyahu, Pres. Trump said direct talks with Iran have started. We will have a top-level major meeting on Apr. 12, 2025. Hopefully, those talks will be successful, and I think it would be in Iran’s best interest if they are successful.)

Five, concerning wars and rumors of wars at the end of the age: Pres. Trump has been attacking the Houthis in Yemen.

He said he will continue to do it as long as they attack ships in international waters.

He also said if they continue to receive backing from Iran, he would treat their attacks as attacks by Iran itself.

On Apr. 3, 2025, Iran announced that it is withdrawing its advisors from Yemen because Iran wants to avoid a direct conflict with the U.S.

Six, concerning world government: on Apr. 6, 2025, it was reported that British Prime Min. Kier Starmer said the world has changed (since Trump announced Tariffs on several nations), globalization is over, and we are now in a new era.

(My opinion: Wrong! The globalists, Democrats, and others are doing everything they can to stop Trump, and the Bible clearly teaches that there will be a world government after the Rapture of the Church.)

Seven, concerning open borders (a borderless world; world government) and the deportation of illegal aliens: on Apr. 7, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Pres. Trump had the authority over the illegal alien gang members from Venezuela.

Eight, concerning persecution of believers at the end of the age: on Apr. 7, 2025, it was reported that China has released new regulations that prohibit foreigners from preaching, sharing their faith, or forming religious organizations in China (effective May 1, 2025).

China mandates that all Christian activities must be confined to churches officially sanctioned and closely monitored by the state, thereby controlling the religious landscape.

(My opinion: The Church may start thriving in China as a result of these new regulations. It has thrived under persecution in the past.)

Nine, concerning the Days of Noah (great wickedness) at the end of the age: on Apr. 9, 2025, it was reported that a poll by the Network Contagion Research Institute at Rutgers University found that almost 60% of leftists polled have no problem with someone assassinating Pres. Trump, and almost 50% have no problem with someone assassinating Elon Musk.
