Rapid, Fragile, and Close

Rapid, Fragile, and Close

Daymond Duck

On Jan. 23, 2026, I got the following from Messianic World Update:

• This week has been filled with developments that underscore just how rapidly the nations are moving, how fragile the current order truly is, and how closely world events continue to align with the prophetic warnings found in Scripture.
• As believers in Yeshua who take the whole counsel of God seriously, we must watch carefully, pray diligently, and remain grounded in biblical truth rather than media narratives.

It seems to me that Messianic World Update is right on target.

Bible prophecy is being fulfilled like birth pains, and it is happening so fast that it is truly impossible to keep up with all of it.

The global situation is fragile, with the global economy struggling, wars taking place. rumors of wars looming, nations realigning in the Middle East, people protesting in many nations, Israel under constant attack, Islam spreading like wildfire, Christians persecuted in many nations, etc.

And all the things that Jesus said would come to pass when the end of the age is approaching seem to be shaping up.

(FYI: On Jan. 27, 2026, Atomic scientists moved the symbolic “Doomsday Clock” to 85 seconds to midnight, the closest humanity has ever come to theoretical self-destruction.)

Here are some recent current events that seem to validate this:

One, on Jan. 25, 2026, Israeli Prime Min. Netanyahu suggested:

• That Israelis and Europeans were allies in a decisive struggle for the future of the world against radical Islam, far-left ideologies, and unchecked immigration.
• The Western Judeo-Christian civilization is under attack.
• This is an effort carried out not by radical Islam alone, but in collaboration with forces which you know well: the deep radical left and the Islamists, who in theory should be rivals, but are united by one thing—the hatred of Israel and the Jews.
• Many countries in Europe were numb; they opened their borders with no supervision whatsoever.
• Not just for a year or two; this has been a long-term struggle.
• In this regard, we are not just allies and comrades-in-arms, we are brothers and sisters in the decisive struggle for the future of the world.
• The gravest danger that the world faces is the link between militant Islam and nuclear weapons.

(My comment: For whatever it is worth, I believe the Scriptures teach that nuclear weapons will be used during the Tribulation Period.)
