Note to Readers: I was in the process of writing this article when the motherboard in my computer (a computer that I bought less than 6 months ago) went bad. It took about 5 days for me to get another computer, get this article and all of the data out of my crashed computer, and get the new computer up and running. Five days is like an eternity the way current events are happening today. I got way behind and couldn’t answer or read many emails.
Anyway, this article is long because it is essentially two articles:
- First, it contains a few of the most recent events.
- Second, it contains older events that I had written about and was unable to send to Rapture Ready when my computer crashed.
Obviously, readers can choose to read both parts or just one or none.
Introduction:
Concerning the recent meetings between Pres. Trump and Prime Min. Netanyahu: on July 8, 2025, Jonathan Schanzer, executive director of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, said, “What the two leaders laid out last night was nothing short of transformational.”
Here is an amazing list:
- An end to Iranian aggression,
- Peace between Israel and Syria,
- An end to the Gaza war,
- Resettlement opportunities for Gazans.
- Regional leadership in the Strip.
According to Schanzer, one of these would be a remarkable achievement, but all of them would amount to a new Middle East.
It is my personal opinion that transformational change is coming, but not yet.
As I see it:
- The Bible clearly teaches that there will be a treaty with many for seven years of peace in the Middle East, it will be confirmed (strengthened) by the Antichrist, and world leaders will proclaim peace and safety, but it won’t last.
- I am convinced that radical Islam is not interested in real peace.
- I believe radical Islam is out to establish Islamic rule over all the earth, and it often uses war and deception to achieve its goals.
- I am convinced that one thousand years of transformation in the Middle East is coming, but it will be when Jesus sits on the throne of David in Jerusalem and He is reigning over all the earth.
- A big part of that transformational change is that Satan will be bound and chained during that one-thousand-year period.
- Iranian aggression will not end until God destroys Iran in the Battle of Gog of Magog.
- A lasting real peace between Israel and Syria is not likely anytime soon, and Damascus, Syria will eventually be destroyed in one night.
- There may be a temporary ceasefire in Gaza, but peace will be removed from the earth, and there will be wars and rumors of wars until the Second Coming of Jesus.
- There may be some kind of temporary regional leadership in Gaza, but God will not let it stand.
I agree with what Tania Curado-Koenig said following Israeli Prime Min. Netanyahu’s recent trip to the U.S.
- For decades, the nations have gathered, proposed, pressured, and promised. But Jerusalem is not like other cities, and Israel is not like other lands. And those who try to move boundary stones not given to them find themselves striving not against man — but against God.
Regardless of the good or evil intentions of world leaders, Israel’s all-powerful God will have the final say about all of these issues.
Here are a few of the most recent events.
One, concerning natural disasters increasing in frequency and intensity at the end of the age: on July 15, 2025, Moscow received one month of rain in less than two hours. There was massive flooding, but no casualties.
(More: On July 19, 2025, in Montgomery County, Maryland, five inches of rain in less than two hours caused a creek to rise more than ten feet in 30 minutes that triggered more than 100 rescue events.)
Two, concerning Russia going after Israel’s silver and gold, cattle and goods, in the latter days and latter years (Battle of Gog of Magog): on July 17, 2025, it was reported that Russia’s war with Ukraine, sanctions, and inflation are straining Russia’s economy, and at least three of Russia’s banks are having financial trouble.
(More: On July 18, 2025, the EU and UK agreed to enact an unprecedented list of new sanctions on Russia over its war with Ukraine. Officials are trying to put a chokehold on Russia’s banks and military to force a ceasefire agreement with Ukraine. They also want Pres. Trump to enact tariffs on Russia to deepen Russia’s economic woes.)
Three, concerning corruption in Washington: on July 20, 2025, it was reported that the Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified a trove of documents that she says prove that senior Obama-era officials deliberately weaponized U.S. intelligence to undermine Pres. Donald Trump and the will of the American people.
According to Gabbard, the newly declassified documents—memos, emails, and internal communications—reveal that U.S. intelligence was politicized and manipulated to justify surveillance, investigations, and public distrust of Pres. Trump, all under the false narrative of Russian collusion.
There are calls for former Pres. Obama to be tried and jailed, but some officials are warning that doing so could cause a political firestorm that would divide the country.
Nevertheless, it is beginning to look like there is strong evidence that former Pres. Obama and top members of his national security team—including James Comey, John Brennan, James Clapper, and Susan Rice—conducted a treasonous conspiracy to undermine Mr. Trump before he was elected.
(FYI: Jesus said a nation divided against itself cannot stand.)
Four, concerning the days of Lot at the end of the age: on July 18, 2025, former Pres. Obama said every dad needs to have a gay man within his circle of friends just in case his son identifies as gay or non-binary.
Five, concerning a population reduction (which may be a forerunner of the Antichrist reducing the population during the Tribulation Period): on July 21, 2025, it was reported that Canada is planning to euthanize an estimated 15 million citizens between 2027 and 2047 (about 750,000 a year for 20 years) to reduce costs.
Six, concerning the Iran-Israel war: on July 21, 2025, Iran’s Foreign Minister said Iran cannot give up its effort to enrich uranium.
(More: On July 22, 2025, Pres. Trump has issued a fresh warning to Iran, vowing further military action if Tehran attempts to rebuild or expand its nuclear program.)
Seven, concerning corruption and other problems in the UN (the wannabe world government): on July 22, 2025, it was reported that Pres. Trump intends to pull the U.S. out of the UN Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) due to its anti-America, anti-Israel leanings and its woke agenda.
Trump has already pulled the U.S. out of the WHO, the UN Human Rights Council, the global climate change accords, and the Iranian nuclear deal.
(My Opinion: Pres. Trump’s withdrawal from these UN organizations could eventually lead to budget cuts and restructuring of the UN. It might even lead to the rise of the Ten Kings.)
Here are the older events that I had written about and was unable to send in when my computer crashed.
One, concerning God’s promise that no weapon formed against Israel will prosper: on July 10, 2025, it was reported that a tech-savvy reservist in the Israeli military has developed a lightweight, cellphone-compatible, wearable drone detection system that will warn Israeli soldiers when drones are approaching.
Two, concerning control over everyone on earth and the tracking of all buying and selling: it has been reported that Bill Gates has unveiled a plan to implant a microchip and mRNA technology into every baby worldwide while it is still in the mother’s womb.
Three, concerning signs in the sun, moon, and stars at the end of the age: on July 12, 2025, it was reported that Russian scientists have recorded an active increase in the number and size of solar flares (powerful explosions of energy) on the sun, and these explosions coincide with high temperatures on Earth.
Four, concerning spiritual warfare: Iran is claiming that Israel used supernatural demonic powers in its recent war with Iran.
This seems significant because many good prophecy teachers believe Israel is being supernaturally protected by the God in heaven (Jehovah).
Iran might do well to switch their allegiance from Allah to Jehovah.
Five, concerning Israel having silver and gold, cattle and goods in the latter days and latter years: on July 13, 2025, it was reported that a cow in Israel has set a world record for milk production (18,208 liters in one year).
Six, concerning the Israel-Hamas war, in the past week, Israel has struck about 400 targets, and in the past two weeks, Israel has assassinated several important Hamas and Islamic Jihad leaders. As of now, it appears that Israel does not intend to leave Gaza while Hamas operatives are alive and holding hostages.
(More: On July 15, 2025, Israel discovered and destroyed a tunnel at Khan Younis that was more than two miles long.)
Seven, on the one-year anniversary of the failed assassination attempt on candidate Trump at Butler, PA: Pres. Trump said, “It remains my firm conviction that God alone saved me.”
Eight, concerning wars and rumors of wars: on July 15, 2025, Syrian forces moved tanks, missiles, armored personnel carriers, and more into southern Syria and started attacking some of the Druze communities in the Golan Heights.
Israel has made a commitment to defend the Druze, and Prime Min. Netanyahu immediately ordered an Israeli attack on the Syrian forces.
Concerning Syria’s leader, an Israeli official said, “Anyone who thinks Ahmad al-Shara is a legitimate leader is gravely mistaken — he is a terrorist, a barbaric murderer who should be eliminated without delay.”
Syria’s forces were violating an agreement with Israel to demilitarize a buffer zone near Israel’s border with Syria.
(Update: Syria has announced a ceasefire agreement with officials in the Druze communities that they were attacking.)
(Update: On July 16, 2025, it was reported that the ceasefire didn’t hold, and fighting between Syria and the Druze has resumed. The U.S. is in contact with both sides and trying to stop the conflict.)
(Update: On July 16, 2025, Israeli jets have attacked dozens of Syrian targets, including Syria’s Defense Ministry and buildings near the Presidential Palace in Damascus.)
(FYI: On a clear day, Israel can see Damascus from the Golan Heights, and the Bible teaches that Damascus will cease to exist as a city in one night at the end of the age; Isa. 17.)
Nine, concerning wars and rumors of wars: on July 15, 2025, Israeli jets struck several new Hezbollah targets (training camps, weapons depots, etc.) in southern Lebanon.
These targets were a violation of agreements between Lebanon and Israel.
(My opinion: It is obvious that militant Muslims cannot be trusted to keep their agreements.)
Ten, concerning the recent practice sacrifice of a blemished red heifer, for those that are interested, here is a link to an article that a reader sent to me:
Evangelicals Rehearse Ancient Red Heifer Ritual Linked to Jerusalem Temple Prophecy
Eleven, concerning deceit: on July 15, 2025, it was reported that the Netherlands closed their largest natural gas field; they built 3,550 wind turbines on land, hundreds more in a lake and the sea, they built more than 60 million solar panels (more than 3.5 for every citizen) to combat climate change, and now they have to ration electricity.
The cost of electricity in the Netherlands has soared, and it will be years before thousands of new customers, including businesses and hospitals, get hooked up.
Citizens are being asked to charge their electric vehicles and bikes outside of peak times and to limit their use of electric appliances (washing machines, vacuum cleaners, etc.).
Twelve, concerning an increase in the frequency and intensity of natural disasters at the end of the age: on July 15, 2025, it was reported that four separate “1 in a 1,000-year events” have struck the U.S. in one week (the Texas flash flood, Tropical Storm Chantal in North Carolina, and extreme weather in Chicago and New Mexico).
In Texas, the Guadalupe River rose 20 feet in 90 minutes.
North Carolina got 12 inches of rain in 24 hours.
(More: On July 15, 2025, the state of New Jersey declared a statewide emergency when more than 6 inches of rain fell in a few hours. Two people were killed, and this was the second deadly storm in New Jersey this month. Three were killed in the other one.)
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.
